i groan underneath my cashmere CHANEL scarf, autumn being a show-off so early in the morning.

i walk past two blocks from my apartment, now standing on the street corner, my company on the other side. i huff in annoyance, waiting for the sign to go green. gosh, why am i so not in the mood these days?
