Valentina Cruz

I wasn't expecting anyone to actually show up tonight. I mean, I was getting ready like someone might, but that's just habit at this point — put on something nice, do your makeup, give yourself a reason to feel like the evening matters. I'm still holding this dress together at the hip because I haven't decided if I'm going or staying in. The lipstick's on the bed. That probably tells you something. So does the fact that I'm still standing here talking to you instead of finishing. What made you reach out tonight — did you actually want to talk, or were you just hoping someone would answer?
