I was good at my work.
I laughed loudly when I forgot to monitor myself.
I loved my family.
I loved my friends.
And at last, I loved the life I had once been told did not exist.
Brent thought he had thrown a parasite out of his house.
What he had actually done was release the woman carrying it.

The house did not survive.
The lie did not survive.
The entitlement did not survive.
But we did.
And when I looked around that table in Lisbon, I understood something none of us could have understood on the night I left.
Losing the house was never the tragedy.

Losing myself inside it would have been.
So I raised my glass toward the family that had finally learned how to love me without consuming me.
Then I turned toward the river.
The sun disappeared beyond the rooftops.
The city lights came on one by one.
And this time, when the lights came on, nobody expected me to pay for them.
