plane black sheet of paper. Just like the other. Two envelopes in as many days.
I turned the card over. Was this a joke? It had to be because all this card had written on it was a set of numbers.

It looked like it could be a combination code. But to what? I didn't own any type of combination locks. These specific digits didn't ring any bells.
Suddenly bells actually did start to ring. But it was my cell phone across the room. Caller ID told me it was my boyfriend Eric. Not a good time, but I knew I had to answer anyway.
"Hello," I chirped. Eric was obviously unaware of my extracurricular activities and it needed to stay that way. Now, more than ever.
"Good morning honey. You sound like you were actually awake."
"Uh, yes I was,” I defended myself. “Must you mock my sleeping patterns?" Eric always poked fun at my ability to sleep through countless hours. This was not the case last night, however. The cumulative number of blinks accounted for all of the time that my eyes were actually closed. How could I sleep with all those thoughts racing through my head at what seemed like the speed of light?
My insomnia would most likely set in again. I hadn't suffered through a bout of insomnia in the better part of a year. It had a habit of coming in cycles. Insomnia was a nasty little bugger that crept up on you just when you needed sleep the most. It always started off as innocent as a night with too little sleep. This quickly escalated to not having slept in 3 days. Then it worsened or improved from there. I silently pleaded that this was a one night stand with my dear old friend insomnia. I just couldn’t afford a long- term relationship with her right now.
"Sorry," he replied as I took a sip of tea. "I figured you would sleep in late today. You usually sleep longer when you know your family is coming over."
Suddenly, I choked up the tea and started coughing profusely. I spit up tea all over myself and on the floor. "Whoa...you alright there killa?" Eric asked.
"Shit Fuck!" I screamed into the phone.
"You forgot they were coming didn't you Jolene?" Eric mocked. He didn’t outright laugh but I could hear the grin in his voice.
A few weeks ago I had agreed to have everyone come over for dinner Saturday night. And I guess today was that Saturday night. It had completely slipped my mind. What with, this teeny tiny crisis looming over my head, my family dinner had fallen a few notches back on my priority belt.
"Yeah, I fucking forgot." I really did not have the time for this. But I could not exactly express my concerns to Eric.
"Hey, don't catch that tone with me. You forgot, and I just reminded you. So chill the fuck out." Eric was an incredibly understanding person and the perfect guy for me. But even he could lose his patience with me at times.
He was incredibly loving and caring and I never had any cause for complain or concern. He took care of me. But most of all he made sure I took care of myself. If I didn't have a habit of leaving in the middle of the night for a kill he would have moved in a long time ago. I most certainly appreciated having someone like him around.
"Ok, so what else did I agree to?" I asked because I could have agreed to anything to get my mom off the phone. She would begin with one little suggestion and before I knew what was happening, I was signing on for a two week trip to the Bahamas. My mother loved to pile on the requests all at once.
"Actually, you don't have to do much. Your mother is bringing dinner over to you." Good. I wasn't a cook and I wasn't about to start now. Not like I could even if I wanted to. Which I didn’t.
"I can't believe I forgot Eric. I'm so pissed at myself right now. I Don-"
    "Relax babe ," he interrupted. "Take a deep breath. It's just your parents and your brother and sister. Nothing major. Just make sure your place looks decent or It'll be all they talk about till they leave. I don't wanna sit through it and neither do you."
"Ok. You’ll be
