Law Students

A couple of weeks ago, a partner invited me to attend last night's Pacers game in our firm's suite, at which we hosted a handful of folks who work for one of our firm's clients. (And the Pacers managed to win last night, so he picked a good game).

I asked (begged) T to join us when she finished with rehearsal for her school's musical, and she did. We'd briefly discussed that if she showed, I might let her leave early, like around 8 o'clock. She came, enjoyed some food, and sat to watch a little of the game. As 8pm neared, she let on that she was intending to leave. We hadn't made any final plans, and I'd been hoping she'd stay.

Me: I walked from work, so I was hoping you'd drive me back to my car.
T: (silently hoping she could just go home already)
Me: Well, seriously, just don't feel guilty for the rest of your life after I get mugged on my way back to my car because you leave me here and I have to walk back to my building in the dark. Really, just forgive yourself.

She stayed. What a sweet girl.
