Ten.Two Thousand, One Hundred & Thirty-One

1. Where are my pants?

2. First light.

3. They leave early to get their xrays, him for his chest, her for her thumb.

4. I forgot my lunch.

5. We debrief on yesterday’s meeting and laugh and laugh and laugh.

6. There is no need for us to fight today.

7. I tell her that she’s right: I ask myself that question a lot. If it weren’t for my colleagues, I would have been gone a long time ago.

8. Truthtelling.

9. A few bites of her leftover sushi. No focus. Conversations with people like that will confuse you.

10. Contract signed.
