@arvin, are your people feeling alright? Have you noticed anything going around?
I haven’t noticed anything at all. Why?
No reason. Just doing some due diligence.
Thank you for the offer, Dani, but I have a lot on my plate right now. Maybe later.
Of course.
And Captain, you know that I’m quite used to people laying their burdens on me. I’m not here to proselytize. I’m just here to listen.
Thank you. I assume you had your fair share of runaway children.
Absolutely. And some runaway parents too.
Really? I’d love to hear that story.
That’s a conversation best had over coffee and a twice-baked almond biscuit dipped in chocolate. Stop by when you have a moment?
I will. Thanks, Dani.
