  • making pasta salad, picking apart the fresh mozzarella and the prosciutto with my fingers and eating some of the pieces
  • getting an amazing deal on a Kate Spade tote
  • arriving at the bar early and V being the only one there, smoking cigars and drinking Crown, talking about work and girls and diving
  • later having Scott & Pedro join us, all of us making fun of Pedro's accent and bitching about work - "It's BUshit!"
  • leaving work early, driving out listening to Gazpacho's "Death Room", feeling sort of free?? with my heart pounding
  • getting a ton of errands done in those suddenly-free four hours (this is exciting considering all of my 48-hour work weeks)
  • going to say hi to V in his office, him inviting me out for whisky, and us ending up at his place drinking extremely expensive aged scotches and cognac while smoking cigars
  • him driving the IS F Sport like he stole it
  • laying out on the beach for hours talking, plus him stopping an absolutely wasted guy from driving

  • going to The Fresh Market for coffee and buying a fruit tart, sharing it at the table
  • last day of work, dancing up in the filing room with terrible-awesome Korean pop on my headphones

  • trying to be serious, then hearing the lyrics "YOU THE HOTTEST BITCH IN THIS PLACE!" and cracking up
  • signing up for summer classes
  • a quick goodbye, but sadder than I imagined
  • going to Brad's for consolation, dancing to Gangnam Style and Gentleman and Blurred Lines and Moskau on Just Dance

  • watching Gravity with V late at night, poking fun at impossibilities in it
  • waking up to sunlight through the windows
  • V making me a giant breakfast of bacon, eggs and tomatoes, pancakes with real maple syrup (!), and coffee
