Chapter 5 - Chocolate Fudge Milkshake

After calming down, I look at my phone and see it's been 45 minutes since I've left the coffee shop. I'm still shaking as I look in the mirror and see my makeup has run. Since it's already ruined anyway, I grab some makeup removing wipes from the glovebox and start wiping it off. Breathing deeply, I wipe the tears from my eyes and start the car. I decided to go to Laguna Beach on the way to watch the sunset. Being able to enjoy nature has always brought me a sense of peace. On the way, I stop and get a burger with just ketchup, fries, and a chocolate milkshake with a fudge swirl from a fast food place that is popular with the locals. I haven't eaten all day, and I'm starving.
