Then, he ambled over to his desk and sat down.
He folded his hands and looked up at me. “I never said that | was bitten by a cat. Mike saw my neck when | came
back to the apartment last night, and that was what he assumed happened since | was gone for so long. He must

He haddrive his car while he continued to work on his phone, answering emails. Halfway there, we got stuck
in a traffic jam. We were at a standstill, and eventually, | had to put the car in park. There was a man who took
advantage of the sea of cars and began selling flowers on the sidewalk.
“I'll be right back,” Alexander said, and before | could protest, he hopped out of the car.
