Sex and Another City
After I left the meeting I took a wrong turn and somehow found myself right back where I had started: back in New York, back wondering about Big. I had come to LA for a vacation, hoping to get away from Big, Aidan, and most of all myself. But sitting on the fake set, all my old issues felt more real than ever. I couldn't help but wonder, no matter how far you travel or how much you run from it, can you ever really escape your past?
— Carrie
