> Where did you go?
|

|
|
|

|
|
I was still here.

|

|
|
> Were you?
|

|
|
|

|
|
I was still at my computer. Still writing. I was still here?

Why wouldn't you? You're here with me, aren't you?

|
Two...weeks ago. I think? Damn. Was I really gone that long?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> Longer. Do you remember what you did the week before that?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Worked, doubtless.
|

|

|

|
|
> Did you? Have you talked with work about that?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Ah.
