On the couch, she offers me the joint. Often as I’ve tried, I don’t enjoy marijuana. And I don’t want to smell like some other woman’s pot when I get home. I have plenty of time. I only held class for about fifteen minutes.

I pour another glass of moonshine instead.

“I think it’s time you answered some questions,” I say. “You’ve taken over my class.”

“I have questions, too,” she says.

“I don’t work for you,” I say.

“Okay.”

“You understand me?”

“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean for it to happen. It wasn’t my idea.”

“Start talking.”

She looks for something, over her shoulder. Looks back. “Do you mind if I chimp while we talk?”

“What?”

“There’s a sim I need to try out. It’s in progress.”

“You keep chimping goggles here?”

She looks suddenly like a student. Someone young, toting computers and portable electronics from class to class across the lawns of a springtime campus. She trades messages with her friends and waits until her instructors aren’t listening before she shares invitations to Friday-night parties. She is old enough to buy alcohol, so she can host them.

But campuses don’t behave that way—not anymore. She looks older than she should be, at this age.

She owns chimping goggles.

I try to remember the timeline. Could she be the one from the bar? The network?

“Do you mind?” she says.

“No, go ahead.”

“Will you join me?”

There’s no reason to be a dick.

“Sure—if it makes you feel better.”
