Dear MC,
Please write back to my e-mail from yesterday, even just two sentences. Otherwise, you might end up with a weepy voicemail. OK, you might end up with that anyway, since you're officially the backup for my T while she's on vacation this week. OK, you might have ended up with one even if my T wasn't away, but at least I would have been able to talk to her tomorrow and maybe diffuse some of the intense paternal (and maybe maternal?) transference I'm feeling for you right now...
