Nick felt his face go red. He bowed his head modestly. Carolyn glanced at her watch, then signaled to the waiter who hovered near the table. The waiter took a slip of paper from his pocket and set it on the table in front of Carolyn and offered her a gold pen. Tomorrow and the next day I'm out of the office.
