THEREFORE the Williamsburg $600 ping is still in her drafts Tuesday morning, Amara is at her Crown Heights counter at 7am and the preview reads "final round, girlfriend in the room all night no problem." Robin calls from Atlanta at 7:14am and says, "I am coming to visit in August and you cannot talk me out of it." Amara says, "I am fine, I am busy, I am okay." Robin says, "I can hear you not being fine." Amara hangs up.
What happened
THEREFORE the Williamsburg $600 ping is still in her drafts Tuesday morning, Amara is at her Crown Heights counter at 7am and the preview reads "final round, girlfriend in the room all night no problem." Robin calls from Atlanta at 7:14am and says, "I am coming to visit in August and you cannot talk me out of it." Amara says, "I am fine, I am busy, I am okay." Robin says, "I can hear you not being fine." Amara hangs up. By 11am she is in a clean Bed-Stuy repeat for Denise, $50 cash, Denise's partner home the whole time. On the J train she types "the calendar does not work" into the Williamsburg draft and deletes it. The decision crystallises: she has answered Robin with the wrong voice, kept Denise, and the Williamsburg $600 is declined without ever being opened.
