Grace Kelly, Gene Tierney and Ali McGraw all stayed at the Barbizon Hotel. They’re my favorite actresses. I don’t really like any of Ali McGraw’s movies, but a lot of people tell me I look like her, so I put her on the list anyway. I read the Grace Kelly once danced down the hotel hallway in skivvies. What exactly are skivvies, I wonder? And why would she dance down the hall in them?

Room 1110. That’s my room. I pretend it was Grace Kelly’s room too. I take the big key and stick it in the lock, but it won’t go in. I’ve never opened a door with a key before. At home we never lock doors. We don’t have to. We have big dogs and my father’s temper to protect us.

I turn the key over and try again. This time it slips neatly in the spot. I drop my suitcase and run to he window. I hold on to the sill and look down. The people on the street look really small. I get a funny feeling when I look down at hem. Like I don’t matter. Like I’m just another speck in the sidewalk.

Concrete. Asphalt. Granite. Stone.

The city’s so hard. I’m so soft.

I turn away. I don’t like the city windows. I like country windows.

I stick my chin out.

I’ll get used to it. I have to.

I’m never going back.

Ever.
