No fever, thankfully, but she’s sniffly and lethargic. Thanks for checking in. I took today and tomorrow off to be with her.

SAHAR

Aw, poor little darling. I’m happy to hear she doesn’t have a temperature, though. You alright?

JAY

I think so. Maybe. I’ve stopped blaming myself if that’s what you meant.

SAHAR

That’s exactly what I meant because I had a feeling you would be.

JAY

We should talk about what happened. But it doesn’t feel like a text conversation.

SAHAR

Yeah, definitely an in-person one. We’ll figure it out. ??

JAY

WEDNESDAY

SAHAR

Checking in on Eloise and also on you.

JAY

She’s much better today. So am I. How are you?

SAHAR

I’m so happy to hear that! And I’m solid.

JAY

Will I see you tomorrow? I have a later shift that got switched around.

SAHAR

You will!

JAY

Want me to snag a bagel for you when I get in?

SAHAR

Not a bagel, but maybe one of the strawberry rice krispie bars, if they’re available? They keep selling out by the time we arrive.

JAY

You got it, sunshine.
