    If I’ve learned one lesson from all that’s happened to me, it’s that there is no such thing as the biggest mistake of your existence. There’s no such thing as ruining your life. Life’s a pretty resilient thing, it turns out.

    Should I attempt small talk? Some light, neighborly chitchat?
    “I made some headway on that file you gave me,” I say at last.
    “Good,” he says curtly, and nods.
    So much for the small talk.

    Why does the vacuum cleaner need to go in a bag?” I say, puzzled. “Is she taking it somewhere?”
    Maggie peers at me as though she thinks I must be joking. “The bags that go inside your vacuum cleaner,” she says carefully. “To collect the dust? Do you have any of those?”
