Oh, you stayed. You stayed. Thank you, thank you so much. I can’t tell you how much this means to me…

Huh? Am I ok? Uhm…I don’t know. I really don’t know. Sorry, I’m…I’m so lost — I…never imagined I’d get here. I’m pregnant.

Do you mind if we keep walking? I don’t like being here, I need to keep moving.

What? No — no, no, no — this isn’t blood. At least…it’s not mine…..

I guess I need to start at the beginning.

I work on the 45th floor of that building right there, for a firm called Legacy Associates. I am a paralegal, but I guess it doesn’t matter.

There was a party at the office last month. For someone — Patty maybe? — who made Partner. There was a lotta tequila and…I drank more than I normally would. More than I should have. I shouldn’t have done that.

Uhm — am I cold? Yes, yes I am — my teeth chatter when I’m cold. Sorry. Are you cold?
