1:30 on Sunday. Dana and Katharina in a very nice French restaurant with very ugly carpets.

( Dana checked her watch again. )

Thursday Afternoon. Shopping. Angeline and Dana haven't dropped yet.

( She had always found such excursions enjoyable. )

Well, working through all of those forms took longer than I thought that it would, but at least that should settle it.

I am planning on going shopping tomorrow. Anyone up for an expedition?

I can't help but think that it was a little tasteless of me, but it wasn't as if I'd be able to get the bloodstains out even if I tried.

August 2nd. Morning. Another day at the office.

( I apologize for any inconvenience that it might have caused you. )

Andrew?

There was something that I was meaning to ask you the other day.

I suppose that, at this rate, it would be simpler to just buy a new vacuum cleaner.

Consider it off. Work calls.

It started early.

You know, I had a visitor the other day.

Wednesday Evening. In which Andrew and Dana don't have a little talk.

( Your plan b is in a box over there by that door. )
