Late start for him means a more relaxed pace for the morning.

It’s just because I really like where I live. That’s why I want to be here all the time. That’s not a bad thing. That’s a good thing.

I text him two and a half hours later to say that I’ve already completed my to-do list.

What else?

I’m a little early so I walk a bit of the vineyards beside the office. Small berries with green and purple skins. Big green leaves. Spiky straw sticks between the openings of my shoes.

I think this waiter is confused. I look familiar but the context is not the same.

I wonder if I am gushing too much about the past.

Yes. She’s right. Things can be different this year now that I have help.

It’s going to come quickly.

He’s right. I do like I did at the last place and just find my people.
