"Oh? I'm intrigued and listening?"
"I was wondering if you could help Jack out with some of the legal things around the office? It'll be after hours and he'll compensate you for your work?"
"Oh honey, I can't. The office asked me to handle an immigrant case for them in Texas. I'm leaving tomorrow night..."
"What??? and when were you going to tell me about that??"
"Well, you're not around anymore..." You playfully slap her arm. "No...I was going to tell you tomorrow morning, cause I figured you would be spending the night at Jack's again?"
"Yeah, probably can't blame you for that and yes, I'm spending the night at Jack's again. I'll probably spend a lot of nights there from now on. He's getting weaker."
"Oh girl, it's very sad. How are you holding up?"
"Oh, I take it a day at a time and try not to think too much about the future but I'm very much enjoying every moment I spend with him."
