This friend’s children go to private school, so I reminded her that it was winter break for the Greenwich Public Schools, and that’s why it seemed like people were traveling. Because they were. People like us.
Thus the person my friend wanted to have lunch with that would be me was unable to have lunch because of the very thing that had made my friend need to meet up for lunch in the first place.
