JAREDI stared out into the skyline of New York. Most of my boxes were still piled up in the corners of the condo. I had managed to find a nice one in the Financial District with the help of Jessica and a decent realtor, but the act of moving itself was still such a pain. Hiring movers was all well and good, but I preferred not to have someone touching my stuff and putting it somewhere I wouldn't know about. The last time I moved, I couldn’t find my favorite watch for weeks, and had to buy a new one.I grabbed my phone and hovered over Kim's number. I wanted to give her a call to see how she was doing, but I quickly scrolled past it. There was no way I could call her, not after our last conversation on the beach. We had done our farewells. It was done.Out on vacation, it had been easy for us to enjoy one another's company. The fact that there were too many familiar faces in New York was a good enough sign that I needed to watch myself.

Every cartoon back then made it sound like you could just adopt an animal from the dumpster and call it a day.""And the raccoon?"I shrugged, "It looked like a fat cat.""I just want to make sure you're not getting into any trouble or need some help is all.

Another ding made me check again. It was like an addiction to see who was clicking on my profile. This guy was in his thirties. He wore a green football jersey and was hanging out at some bar. I flipped to another photo where he was out hiking somewhere. In his hand was what obviously looked like a leash so I flipped to the next photo and was greeted immediately by the snoot of a golden retriever.My heart instantly melted at the sight of the dog and I let out an audible aww. I clicked ok on him and waited for a response.Nothing.Another match came in with a ding.I continued flipping through the different matches I was consistently getting for another ten minutes before I decided to stop. It was getting a bit much, and I needed a break from deciding if someone might be a creep or not. Instead, I turned my attention back to my messages which were now filled with responses from some of the guys I had matched with. I started with the golden retriever guy.Sup.Hey, your dog is really c
