It was a simple lunch with a dear friend, late enough in the afternoon to have a popular hangout almost completely to ourselves. When we get together – and this is always the case – minutes turn into hours and my family usually ends up checking to see if my suitcase is still in the closet. We tend to talk a lot. Yes, WE.
