Adri sighed shaking her head to rid her mind of the image of Ryan's distraught face. "I guess I'll go home...no point in being out alone on New Years." She muttered to herself. She walked the short distance to her her condo trying to smile as she saw Kevin her doorman. "Ms. Scott, I didn't think you would be back so soon." The older man said.

She smiled sadly at him, "Yeah neither did I...he wasn't what I expected." She said looking at the ground ruefully. The doorman looked at her softly with a distinct seriousness in his eyes. "Are you okay, Miss Scott? Did he hurt you?"

Adri shook her head. "No, of course not." She said defending him before correcting herself. "At least not that way. It was my own fault anyway."

She smiled gently at the doorman. "Thank you for the concern, Kevin." Adri said walking to the elevator and pressing the button for her floor. Once she made it to her apartment she used her keys to open the door and saw Ella on the sofa. "Hi Ella." She said softly as the puppy ran over to her with a waggling tail. "Well its just me and you again..."

Adri dropped her handbag on the sofa as she looked out the window in the living room. Everyone was on the streets still most likely heading to time square. "Ella you want to go for a walk?" She said going into the drawer and grabbing Ella's leash. 'I won't stay inside and mope just because I met a jerk who lied to me...' She thought to herself trying not to seem as down as she really felt. Maybe a nice peaceful walk through central park with Ella.

"Come on, Ella." She said scooping Ella up and grabbing her keys as she headed back out the door, not noticing she left her phone behind.
