If she asks why it is I am spending the holidays alone I will mumble something about money and beer and she will laugh because she will think I am being silly. Then she will say, no, seriously, why? She has been on a Greyhound for thirty-six hours. She says last night she slept better than she’s slept in months. Across two seats, she tells me. I say: forum well, that’s a miracle, and I go back to eating my soup. forum Oh yes, a miracle, she whispers. I can’t believe forum I’ve let her come. It was some weak afternoon I was having when she called to say it was November, and wow, what a good time it would be for her to make the trip. Oh shit. No, it’s not a good time, and if you asked me and if I could speak truthful sentences to you, I would say, no, it is not November, and no, it is not a good time for you to come see me. Do you have a fold out couch? She asks me this from the grocery store.
