Ten.Two Thousand & Seventy-Eight

1. Last day.

2. I pack, and then I work.

3. Coffee from the Keurig. A bowl of cherries. Water, water, water.

4. She leaves first.

5. I text the group chat to let them know I’ve boarded my first leg. I thank them for including me. I needed every bit of it.

6. I turn on my phone. “You now depart at 12:42 a.m. Click here to book a new flight at no cost.”

7. I ask them if they can give me my bag. They say no. I don’t feel like fighting for it.

8. He’s having trouble closing out his drawer, and I think he’s also feeling bad for me. He pours me a very large glass of sauvignon blanc.

9. I sent it to the wrong address.

10. We’ll try this again tomorrow.
