It was that confidence he helped instill, by continually givingto be a travel blogger one day, that helped to launch me out on a ind career of travel and adventure I can never repay him for that

Funny that when I find I’ve hit a low point in my life, it’s not my parents I turn to for help As much as I love them like the air I breathe, it’s Kane I need to be near in times such as these

Tonight was great—low pressure I showered and shaved, and, of course, brushed the fur froe of his hairdryer, because he’s ahis hair, and I was feeling somewhat pretty e stepped out for dinner We walked froria while we sampled different dishes I kneorried about ht and comfortable

I appreciated it, but I’m not stupid I can still see the worry in his eyes, and I know he’s going to push me on it Because he’s my best friend, I’ll confide in him

Yes, I travel for a living I barely a summer breaks when he comes home to visit his fa for a bit We talk by phone frequently, and we text almost every day There has never been a lull in our friendship over the ten years since we first met, and frankly… I don’t knohat I’d do without him

We have a lovely walk back to his apartht perfect We take Saestion, we open a bottle of wine to enjoy on his patio that overlooks don Phoenix

His patio is quite large, holding a gas grill on one end and a table that seats four on the other It could do with a few potted plants out here, but they’d never survive given how much Kane travels

We settle into our chairs, quietly sipping at our wine, and look out over the city streets below Sa his nose through the metal poles, and sniffs the city air

It’s Kane whoto tell me why you’re here?”

I had indeed planned a visit to see him in October, but circu I know he’s worried

I shrug, not sure where to begin “Would you accept I’ an existential crisis?”
