She was frustrated to a point. For some reason, it seemed she couldn't call outside Los Angeles. And forget about actually driving out to see Dee or Audrey, she knew it would only alarm them unreasonably. Or perhaps, reasonably. She was very close to banging her head against the wall in sheer frustration at the entire situation. Here she was, mid 20's and once again chasing the nightmare of her youth that became the pleasant dream of adulthood.
There was always Tom... no. Not calling Tom. He wasn't accusing, never accusing. He was gentle and understanding, but the deep sadness in his eyes, she couldn't put him through this again.

At the rate Los Angeles was heading, she wouldn't be surprised if there was another Watts riot.
