Character interviews

Our next interview is with Corey, Cathy's coworker and confidant. He is a featured character in both "Love, Despair and Other Heartaches" and "Wandering Towards Normal".

How did you meet Cathy? “We both worked at an accounting firm. I was just there part-time while I was in college. We’d hang out together during our breaks.”

What was your first impression of her? “She seemed awfully sad.”

Describe your relationship with her. “She was hard to get to know to begin with, but we eventually became good friends both in and outside of work. She’s pretty cool, even though she’s way older than me.”

What do you consider your best quality? “I think if someone’s not in a great mood, I try to help them get out of it.”

What’s a relationship deal-breaker for you? “I haven’t really been seriously involved with anyone, but off the top of my head I’d have to say lack of chemistry.”

What is the one thing you’d change about yourself? (Responds with a shrug.)

Describe yourself in three words. “Ambitious, thoughtful, and reliable.”

Any regrets? “I wish I hadn’t quit that job just when Cathy needed me the most.”

Classic Corey Quote: “If he makes you this miserable, then he’s not the one.” (From “Love, Despair and Other Heartaches”.)
