<p>&ldquo;Yeah. It was a confusing night, you merged down before I&rsquo;d forked my new instance, then my spare instance quit,&rdquo; I said. I slouched down in my seat, feeling the heat rise to my cheeks as I watched both of my cocladists laugh while Dry Grass sat, smiling earnestly at me. I knew that smile well, knew it from nights and nights together, from Sunday brunches and afternoons lounging in the sun.
