Chapter 93

• I turn over on the couch and start moving around, trying to find a comfortable position. Scattered around the coffee table and floor are remnants of my day and part of my night: books, my laptop, a bottle of water, and an empty tub of ice cream.
• It's my first day on unpaid leave, and as night falls, I feel like I'm suspended in a time warp. I give my phone a grimace.
• It's ten o'clock at night, and I'm completely bored.
