de⋅noue⋅ment [dey-noo-mahn] -noun
1. the final resolution of the intricacies of a plot, as of a drama or novel.
2. the place in the plot at which this occurs.
3. the outcome or resolution of a doubtful series of occurrences.
Finally back in New York, Miranda safely asleep in Brooklyn and Alex presumably safe at her sister's in Virginia, the only order of business left is returning the rental - an order of business that can't wait until I've had some sleep, seeing as how it needs to be done before 10, and we only made it into New York around 7.
So with everything cleaned out I took off, once again, across the Willimasburg Bridge and into Manhattan. The office is off of University Place, a street I know all too well, so I made my way across the east village and then, on foot, to the Union Square station. Still, I was met with the concept every subway commuter hates to encounter, "late nights and weekends" service. So, despite the fact that I was dead beat I had to wait 20 minutes for the next train.
Still, I made it home, things kind of mellowed out - I'm still broke from it all, though. I still have no car. All I've got are these memories, which, I guess, count for something. A friend of mine said it was worth the price of the car just for the shot of my running back with the oil. It might take me a year before I'm able to appreciate it like that.
This concludes the series. Music by No Kids.
