Sarah Walters was at her wit's end. Not only is she just done five photo shoots, three interviews, and a charity event, she was also elbows deep in planning what would be the wedding event of the spring. And she was doing it all with a picture perfect smile on her face. Stress had been a constant in her life since she reached the age where it stopped being cute to say whatever popped in your head. Over the years she'd had plenty of coping strategies that were legal, private, and didn't stray so far off the beaten path to make her seem liberal.
That last bit had been important for her father's image as a strong conservative.
But all the meditating, bullet journaling, cross stitch, paint by number, and organizing her things could alleviate the stress of this week. Not when her fiance, an up and coming senator by the name of Daniel Vickers, still had one more photo op that week at a local shelter, she herself was due for an interview on some women's talkshow, and countless meetings for dress fittings, catering plans, and scoping venues. As a result she hadn't been sleeping, and had been using makeup to hide the bags under her eyes will popping Advil like candy for her headache.
It wasn't sustainable, and she'd been complaining to a close friend who jokingly offered the suggestion, "You should try weed."
At the time they'd laughed it off together, but the idea hadn't left Sarah. All the Googling she'd done suggested that it wasn't harmful, wasn't actually addictive, and more importantly would help her relax enough to sleep. This week was just the one to finally push her to it.
There was no missing she'd never done this before. Her attempts to find the dealer had been clumsy and amatuerish, and she'd shown up that night clearly jumpy and worried about being caught. She swapped the money for the little baggie of green buds and practically fled back to her car and relative safety. As far as she knew no one had seen her. But just as importantly, after smoking a bowl she was able to finally fucking sleep.
