The Adjustment League
““Nine hundred dollars will do it, I think.”
A tiny pause. “Same as last time, then,” Ken says. Less gets by him than he pretends. Anything over a thousand, make me itemize it. What I insisted on at the start.
“Different situation. But yes, about the same costs.”
“And you feel yourself to be of sound mind?” Ken getting it out quickly, not comfortable even after all these years with asking such a thing, though the question is my own and I wouldn’t give him my business unless he agreed... to it.
“I do.”
“And it’s something you’ve considered carefully. Reviewed over a period of time.”
A short time. “I have.”
“All right, then.”
I now pronounce you manic and funds.
The money will be in my bank tomorrow, Wednesday morning at the latest. Same account my regular remit goes into—$800, two days before the end of each month.MoreLess
