Thanks for telling me to drop you an email if I'm anxious. Means a lot that you're still 'there' and are not trying to boot me out of the nest.

I have a couple questions, though.. why no mention of the email I did send? And also, didn't you want to know how that other thing is going? Did you forget?

A little puzzled...

... and a little sad I couldn't broach anything beyond small talk today. I was trying to build up to it, I guess, but didn't get there before time ran out. Oh well. There's always next week, right? But I'm convincing myself you don't want to talk about it. I don't even know what I want from the conversation. Maybe there isn't even any point in embarrassing myself.
