IN HIS WAKE: HIS #6
There was no leaving Adrian Knight.
Physically, perhaps, but not emotionally. The discontent, the sense of debilitating disequilibrium that overtook me in the absence of the comforting routine I’d fallen into as Knight’s sexual submissive, interrupted the rhythm of my thoughts and my breath as I hurried from meeting to meeting, back at work at the environmental law firm where I was supposed to be the most promising of the junior partners. It manifested as a clumsy catch of my designer heels along the sink-down carpet, a wince at the constant burble of digital ringtones in a busy office, a nagging dissatisfaction with every detail of my surroundings.
It was a creeping panic.
A month on, I was barely sleeping, hardly eating, and still swinging wildly between sobbing into my pillow at night at the thought of Adrian and punching it with the force of thirty years of pent up outrage.

The stifling atmosphere had me short of breath, with a heavy weight mounting little by little in the middle of my chest. It irritated me like a scratching along the inside of my skull, the inside of my skin, that the pristine sets of law books were all the same colors and size with identical, pretentious gold stripes along their flawless cobalt blue or ruby red binding.

Before I’d gone off to college to better myself, to ascend the career ladder and climb above my station. To earn the money and respect and position I believed, not entirely consciously, would insulate me from the hardship and rejection that had characterized my childhood. The thought of dog-eared, thrift store paperbacks, in no way uniform, had me waxing nostalgic for the late nights when my mother would cuddle up on the secondhand sofa to read to her little Chloeblossom while Beethoven or Bach or Pachelbel played low and distant on the radio from the gloomy recesses of the dimly lit room.
This morning, my high sheen, dark wood office was quiet and still with my own inactivity and inattention. I was ten floors up, far removed from the chaos of the traffic and bustling crowds on the street below me.
Below me …
I snickered at myself and rose from behind my
