Dear MC,
Thanks for writing back late last night. A little part of me is like, "Aw, you wrote to me at 1 a.m. That means you really care."

But a bigger part of me is like, "This is the second time in the past couple months you've responded that late at night. You never did that before. Are you OK? Are you unable to sleep, so you're doing work instead? Is that part of how you're coping with losing your wife? I mean, that's totally understandable if you are. But please do your best to take care of yourself and get some rest. My paternal transference stuff can wait till morning."

Love you,
LT
