of the night that is going to be in a dark pile on top of my head.
                  Phoebe is a little more eccentric than me. She is wearing a hot pink halter dress. She has great shoulders which is why she keeps her hair in a short pixie bob. She caps her outfit with black stilettos, too much black on her green eyes and pink lipstick. It may sound hideous but her dark hair and complexion can pull off pink better than anyone.
                  At twenty eight, Phoebe is a drifter. Even though she and I are a lot alike in appearance we are very different in attitude. She has started and quit college more times than I can count and apparently this time, she has no plans of returning. Consequently, my father has officially cut her off. I’m not sure what her plans are but I hope they do not include living with me the rest of her life. She came to my graduation last month and has not left. Unfortunately, she is getting a little too cozy.
                  “Pipe! Come on, we have to go!”
                  “Alright, I am coming.” I check my appearance one last time. It has been a long time since I have been anywhere that didn’t have to do with school and research. I am excited to have a night free of responsibility
                  Phoebe’s mouth drops when she walks in my room. “Damn girl! I would take you home myself, if I were a guy. You are smokin’ hot!”
                  “That is the plan. You are looking pretty hot yourself!” I bat my lashes at her.
                  We are celebrating by going to a little cultural district that is lined with restaurants and clubs. I have wanted to visit since I moved here but have always been too busy. So, I am excited to finally have the chance to venture out and see the world that surrounds me.
                  The good part about living in downtown Indianapolis is we are pretty close to everything. We grab our wristlets and walk outside to catch a cab and arrive in front of a little sidewalk café ten minutes later. There are people of all ages everywhere and I have a great feeling about what the night is going to bring. There have to be at least a dozen places for us to check out.
                  “Girl, if you can’t find some booty here, you have issues.” Phoebe laughs as she walks in the deli. I have to laugh at her because she is right; if you’re looking to hook up, this is the place to be.
                  “How long has it been?” she asks, catching me off guard.
                  “A while.”
                  I am too embarrassed to tell her that I have not been with anyone since I broke up with Nate who I dated him my freshman year of college. When it was summer and time to go home, he was so pissed that I wouldn’t go to Kentucky with him that he broke it off. I have just been too busy to even worry since.
                  “We need to fix that, tonight.”
                  “We’ll see.”
                  “Look around,” she points in the direction of the crowds of people surrounding us. “It is happening.”
                  I shrug in response, hoping that will shut her up.
                  “So, have you told Daddy about the new job?” I smile to myself when she changes the subject. I’m glad she didn’t continue because I am not in the mood to talk about my love life, or how non-existent it is. We find a small table outside under the warm sun before I answer.
                  “Yes, he was his usual self and told me that I could always come back home and work for him.”
                  “Of course he did. You move out of state to go to college and take a job with a competing company and yet I am the black sheep daughter. I don’t get it.” Of course she doesn’t factor in the dropping out of school and partying all the
