Remember You

by

Addison Brae

A few years ago a friendtreated himself to a drink after a long day working the sushi restaurant in myneighborhood. He bought me a cocktail and said something very wise that made alasting impression. “People have to love themselves first.”

Many people don’t appear tohave that love. It affects their ability to be a friend, a lover, a responsibleadult. I think I love myself—until something happens or someone hits a weakspot. Like me, many people have been in relationships where their partner beatsthem down emotionally. It’s a struggle to love myself again after so much. Solong.

Those doubting momentsbecame so common that I bought myself a ring. Inside the inscription says“Remember me 2011”. No one else knew the ring’s significance. I wore it toremind me to take care of myself when I didn’t have the strength to recall onmy own—like Wonder Woman’s bracelets

It doesn’t take a wall ofdegrees to realize it’s okay to be selfish sometimes. We don’t always have todo for others. Treat yourself—a massage, mani/pedi, hot new outfit, or add aday to your next business trip to relax. It could also be quiet time at home.Make your favorite comfort food. Curl up in your nightie to watch a good movie.Read a good book. Sleep until noon, or all of them!

The dawn of a new decade isa great time to remember you. Time is valuable, but you are priceless.

About Becker Circle

My first and only boyfriendbelieved I was too gutless to leave. He was dead wrong. My name’s Gillian. Igraduated Harvard early and left his hot temper and everyone else behind forDallas. Determined to make it on my own, I land a second job bartending at theneighborhood pub smack in drama central where most every jerk in theneighborhood hits on me—at a huge price.

A week into the job, theneighborhood’s very popular drug dealer falls to his death a few feet from thetable I’m serving. The cops say suicide, but the hot guitar player in the bandand I suspect foul play, and I intend to prove it. We dig deeper, grow closer,and make a shocking discovery, we know the murderer. Watch the trailer, and look for Gillian’s next experiencesin the sequel, Dark Energy, in 2020.

An Excerpt from Becker Circle

This is like a crazycrime-thriller movie and I’m in it. The fear drains to disbelief. It’slaughable.

“Do you understandnow?” Jon grabs my hand, squeezes, and doesn’t let go. “I

don’t want you toend up like Bobby.”

Then the manicottiexplodes in my stomach like a grenade. “But, how would I end up like Bobby?” Itwist my hand out of his. “I’m not a drug dealer.”

“Gillian, listen tome.” He leans across the table almost tipping over the wine glass. “It doesn’tmatter. That man already noticed you. You’re involved. The more questions youask, the more we talk about it, the more you butt in, the more they’ll watchyou.”

“The clues seem soobvious Bobby didn’t commit suicide—his mood, buying drinks for everyone, theway he died, how everyone’s reacting. If he didn’t, someone killed him.” Themore I say to Jon the quicker my mind whirls.

My words flow evenfaster. “I don’t get it. His friends don’t believe the suicide bit, but noone’s doing anything. Not even the police. Like they’ve given up on him.” Iglance down at the barely touched steaming plate and back at Jon. “I gave up onmy Dad when I figured out he didn’t want help, but I’m not ready to give up onBobby.”

Jon stares at theceiling, his temples twitching while I glare at him as if he’s the killer. Likean un-stare off with both of us waiting for someone to give in.

“I also don’t wantto keep walking around afraid of my own shadow. I don’t want to run. Again.”

If I keep askingquestions, I’m dead. Just like Bobby. All by myself.

“Gillian, you’re notdoing this alone.”
