Carl felt only moderately better since he'd moved in with Sophia. Being with her, when he was with her, he felt calmer, more stable. But when he was away from her, it hardly mattered what room had his name by the door. Without Sophia to keep him sane, all his doubts and fears and insecurities resurfaced, and left him numb and disconnected.
He wandered the hotel lobby, walking from one side to the other, weaving in and out and around chairs and people and whatever else was in his path. He counted his steps, he recounted and counted again from one wall to the next. It was mindless, tedious, and it kept him from thinking about how much he hated Las Vegas.
He stepped around a chair, his eyes on the ground, mentally measuring the distance of his step, and assuming there would be no one and nothing in his path. He was wrong, and he shouldered into another person. He straightened himself and looked up. "Uh, sorry."
