The street was filled with the merry sound of Christmas cheer but I was not so happy. I left my office after a gruelling three days of just living there to finish a project alone and returned to my apartment to find that my boyfriend, my high school sweetheart, my first and only lover, broke up with me and moved out with almost the furniture. So this is what that cowardly thief meant when I spoke to him on the phone before I started my overtime and he'd told me to take my time and there'd be a surprise for me at home. A note saying "Cecilia, you can keep the apartment and I'll take the furniture, it's a fair way to split after our 7 years together - all the best, Marc".. what do you mean a fair split and I can keep the apartment? It's mine in the first place, I'd received it from my mother and all that furniture were pieces I'd bought or were already here. Looking around, you were kind enough to leave your beat-up leather recliner though, that I'd always hated and the only piece of furniture you'd actually bought and my mattress which I will only assume you had trouble getting out because of its size. I should call the police about this, what do you mean an officer won't be with me until 7 p.m.?
