Friend Coming Through

Hannah’s flying in Thursday for a few days. We’ve sketched out the basics—shopping, eating, going out. The kind of weekend where you end up staying out later than you normally would because the company’s good and there’s no reason not to.

There’s something about having someone visit that changes how you see the place you live. You walk around pointing out things you’d forgotten were good. You try restaurants you’ve been putting off. The whole city feels a little sharper when there’s someone there to share it with, someone who’s actually interested in being there.
