Excerpt

“We haven’t talked in awhile” in fact I was slightly surprised that she was calling at all, “What’s up?” I asked.
“I don’t know how to say this but you have a new coworker.”
“That’s great Sarah, are you moving here?”
She laughed “no, I’ll be onstage via webcam”
“I take that as a yes?”
“Well yes. But I’m not really sure what I should do until I find somewhere to live.”
“You can stay on my couch if you need it.”
“Ha, that’ll work. I won’t be in the way, will I?”
“No, not at all.”
When I hung up, I realized that I had forgotten that as Mitch was living with me I should ask him as well. But there was no reason for him to say no, she’s a friend in need. I decided it would be a good idea to ask him later.
“Do you remember Sarah?” I asked somewhat hesitantly.
“Of course.”
“Well, she’s moving here, but she needs a place to stay for awhile. I told her she could stay here, but…is that okay?”
He nodded “Oh no problem. But she is, you know, alright with us?”
I wasn’t actually sure, but I said yes anyway.
“Then I can’t wait to see her again”
