Day 4: Eavesdropping

Muffled voice: "Honey, I promise this is the last time... I'm pissed too, the boss just really insisted we finish the work..."

Tom is trying to justify his night out to his significant other. His partner is also an architect, but he works at a firm that is more laid-back (read: better pay, better hours, but with boring projects never featured in magazines).

"With that new girl at the office.."

My ears perk up. My brain quiets to focus on his voice frequency. Tom's talking about me!

Super-muffled voice: "She cut her finger and bled all over the model, total amateur... But yesterday was decent. She came up with the final idea."

YESSSSSSS! Recognition. I dance in my head.

Mega-muffled voice: "But Michael hates her the most. She looks a bit like his ex-wife, tall like her. She's going to get plowed."

The pasta drops off my fork. I'm in trouble.
