When he finally answers, he says, “I had a job interview today.” “And it didn’t go well?” I ask because he did say he was having a crappy day. “It was a long shot. I knew that before I came, but I had to try.” “I’m sorry.” “Thanks. What about you? What brings you to the city?” “I’m here with my sister. She had a job thing, and I tagged along.” “That’s cool. Older or younger?” “She’s three years older.” “Other siblings?” “No, just the one.” “You’re the baby of the family, like me. I have older brothers.”
