I snort. “No bullshit about not trying, only doing?”

“Some days, it’s enough to just try. Doesn’t mean I can’t try to push you to do more.”

“If you don’t come in, I get paid either way until you quit.”

“I’ll be back. I’m going to make you work hard for the money.”

“And you’ll treat me right?”

“Or very, very wrong.” I shock myself by winking at him.
