She said: how?
I said: I’m going to invite someone for dinner.
She said: who?
I told her.
She said: oh.
She said: Sara.
I said: yes.
She said: that’s rather elegant.
I said: I thought so.
She said: when?
I said: tonight.
She said: all right.
She said: is there anything you need me to do?
I said: come for dinner.
She said: yes. I’ll be there.
I made two calls.
The first was to my mother’s attorney, whose name was Robert Kim, and whom I had called two weeks into my mother’s stay to have a conversation about something I had been thinking about for some time.
The conversation had gone well.
I had a document.
The document was in my possession.
The second call was to Patricia Greene.
