she felt stupid. In her heart she knew her dad had been right. Mike didn’t really love her. He had only really wanted one thing. Then  when Katie text her the night before she was due to go to Boston  to tell her she heard Mike was seeing someone else, a girl he went to collage with. Melanie wasn’t really sure how she should have felt about that. But as she sat in the airport she only knew she was glad she never did get to sleep with Mike. She wanted her first time to be special with someone who truly loved her. She was more upset that she had let Mike come between her and her Dad.
    And now as she sat there on her own in the departure area she wanted to see him. She was still mad as hell with him. And she was still very hurt but she loved him and s he missed him.
    The flight was long and uneventful. She tried to watch the movie they were showing on the plane but she couldn’t concentrate on it. She just kept going over everything that had happened between her and her Dad in her head and the huge knot of grief that was inside her was growing and growing.
    She jumped with fright when one of the cabin crew tipped her softly and asked her to put her seat belt back on as they would be landing soon. She must have dosed off. She clipped her seat belt shut and looked out of the window as the plane sank lower and lower towards Logan Airport.
    The first thing Melanie noticed as she stepped off the plane was the heat that hit her as she made her way along the tunnel  that took her from the plane to the airport terminal. The weather had been very cool before she left Dublin and she had put on jeans. But now she was thinking she was going to regret that decision.
    By the time she had gone and gotten her case from Baggage Claim and she made her way to the Arrivals hall she was overheating and felt like she was going to pass out.
    She had only barely stepped through the door when she heard Maggie scream her name from the far side of the Arrivals Hall. Before she knew it, Maggie almost knocked her over, grabbing her into a big bear hug.
    “Oh My God” Maggie exclaimed holding her at arm’s length and looking her up and down. “Look at you! You have gotten so grownup and if it’s possible you have gotten even more prettier too”
    “Hi Maggie” Melanie replied with a giggle. Melanie loved Maggie. She was so much fun to be with. Her Mom loved to tell her stories about when they were both kids. Maggie was the wild one that everyone expected to get into all sorts of trouble. So everyone had been shocked when Sarah had been the one that had ended up pregnant at 18 and not her. Maggie was a successful author and travelled the world. Melanie often wondered if her Mom’s life would have turned out like Maggie’s if she hadn’t got pregnant.  She quickly pushed that familiar thought from her mind.
    “Hey” Maggie said, noticing the look of sadness filter across Melanie’s face. “What up Kiddo?”
    “I am just tired from the flight” she lied and forced herself to smile.
    They drove into the city to Maggie’s apartment in companionable silence. Melanie stared out the window and took in the sights and sounds of the city. She had loved Boston the last time she was here but this time her heart just wasn’t in it.
    “You ok sweetie?” Maggie asked as they made their way through the crowded street.  “You are awfully quiet”.
    “Yeah” Melanie said with a smile. “I am just tired”. She knew her Mom would have filled Maggie in on everything that had happened. She probably knew about her fight with her Dad. She loved Maggie but she didn’t really want to discuss what happened with her Dad with her. She didn’t want to discuss it, period.
    “Well we can order some take out” Maggie said as she indicated and pulled into the underground car park of her building. “Then you can call it a night if you want to”.
    “I probably should unpack before I go to bed” Melanie replied.
    “No don’t unpack” Maggie said with
