āIāll ask again. WHO TOOK IT?ā...
āIt will be a good day,ā I repeated. āEverything will go fine, and you will feel better for doing it. For being there.ā
I turned from a reflection that seemed to say, āYouāre lying,ā and picked up my car keys. The clock struck ten; I needed to leave now if I didnāt want to be late.
The even was fifteen minutes away. I knew the building, went on a date there once with someone I barely remember. ...
āUghā¦ This is horribleā¦ā He grumbled to himself. How on earth did he get himself into this situation? All he wanted to do was spend a bit of his free time volunteering for a charitable organization and was even excited at the prospect to work with some kids, but he never imagined it would be like this.
