Mind Games (2010)
“Our relationship has greatly improved since I had my “breakthrough.” Or at least Cubby likes me better. This scrubbed version of me, anyway.
I put in my notice at Le Toile and inform Cubby that I’m considering something new, career-wise, possibly something in security. Cubby finds this amusing. “You do get all worked up about people in trouble, though,” he says. “And people breaking laws. Maybe you could get a little uniform and badge.”
“Maybe I could.”
“Maybe you could be a meter maid,” he says.
I hit him with a rolled-up newspaper. Really, I hate lying to him.
I usually show up at Mongolian Delites around nine bearing a large coffee from the corner deli. Packard acts annoyed by this and makes me turn it over to him, but I suspect he’s secretly grateful for a decent cup of coffee. Why he doesn’t just walk down there and buy coffee for himself or—brain flash!—get better-tasting coffee for the restaurant, I don’t ask. Questions about the restaurant plunge him into a mysteriously dark mood.
