Hello It’s You

Her professor is sorry Meg hates it here, but Meg says, Oh, it’s fine. It is, in the sense that she’s handling it: she’s come to ask for a recommendation to transfer. When her letter came last April, her parents poured champagne, and Meg felt accomplished, pleased, only passingly hesitant. Now most days, after her 1 p.m. English class, she gets into bed and does not wake up until after the room is steeped in darkness.

When her father called last night, the ring of the phone pulled her up from a dream of vast oceany sadness, whose details slipped from her like water. She tried to make her voice sound alert as she answered. At one point in their conversation he said to her, gently, You just have to calm your emotions and you will be fine there. Meg stayed quiet. She did not say, Please don’t tell me how I’ll be.
