"Everything okay, brielie?"
"Don't call me that." He says between smoky inspirations. "Sounds like some brand of French cheese."
"What happened?"
Smoky expiration. "I'm upset."
"Are you about to fling yourself from the balcony?"
"No."
"Okay. Guess who I tripped on the sidewalk today?"
"Who?"
"Jeremiah Truman."
"And that is?"
"Some jerk who pinched by butt during gym class."
This earns me a slow clap.
