The park was almost as big as the town I grew up in. I was an only child so my parents were very strict. We lived on a ranch two miles out of town. On...our land we had horses, and cattle and all sorts of farm animals. Way out behind our house we also had another small house and that's where my dad's hired help would stay if they didn't already have a place in town. As I grew older and entered Junior High School, I would notice some of the boys in my school and High School would look. . Let me back up.So there's this new kid. Hayden or Jayden or Aden? Whatever, they're all equally dumb fucking names. I think he's literally 19 years old. He did the over-achiever highschool nerd thing and bypassed college; went straight to one of the hacker bootcamps. Anyway he's white and young and a boy, and he wears hoodies and speaks Golang so of course we hired him. Anyway I got stuck pair-programming with him the other day and we're right in the midst of figuring out this data structure. It was an ugly scene by the end. Anna in tears. Her marriage in tatters. Reputation ruined. Eliot all the while was nowhere to be found, vanishing before his rival could slap him with the proverbial glove. It really bothered me that he abandoned her—I didn’t know the rest til much later.But that was then. Anna was gone now. And for the first time ever, Eliot didn’t seem so completely out of reach. I still wanted him. Needed him, really—more and more with each passing moment—and on our first. Carpet was down windows were installed but there were no lighting yet. I figured I would take her there. It was dark but clean and good enough for a quick fuck. Now trying to be slick, I text her back asking her if she could meet me at the building on 27th fl. Telling her I knew the Crew doing construction they were leaving at three and we be safe to sneak in and sneak out. At 2:50 I walk past my bosses office to see if she and left yet so I can get ready to sneak out. I noticed she had her.
