That your parents are hosting a farewell dinner party in your honor…
Carla
They’re so dramatic. I’m literally moving four streets away.
Marlowe
I know. I think they’re happy to have you close by and want to soak up every minute with you.
Carla
Yeah.
Marlowe
But it’s normal to need your own space.
Carla
Thank you! How are you feeling?
Marlowe
Terrible. And, at the same time, giddy. It’s a mind fuck.
Carla
January 27
Luca
How’s it going, campionessa?
I roll my eyes. The last thing I feel like these days is a champion.
Carla
I’m surviving.
Luca
Chin up. A friend told me about a coaching position that’s about to open up at Santa Isabel. The coach is going on maternity leave early and the team needs a strong leader…
Carla
My leadership skills are in the toilet these days.
Luca
When you pull them out, email your CV to [email protected]
I swear and close my eyes. Why the hell is Luca being so good to me? I know he said he’d help but I never expected him to ask around about job opportunities and message me to check in.
Sullenly, I stare at our text exchange. His messages are thoughtful and sweet. Mine are surly.
Reaching deep, I find some gratitude.
Carla
