Fifteen Minutes Late — Jorin Brendel
He was in the doorway when the room was still half empty, and for fifteen minutes he thought you had come alone. Jorin Brendel is thirty-nine, lays floors for a living, keeps a white car immaculate, and has the kind of grin that has been getting him out of things since he was twenty-two. He is a father from the other group at the preschool, eleven years married, and he is not going to pretend the evening did not happen. Then your partner came in, fifteen minutes late, still looking for a parking space, and Jorin understood exactly what he was looking at. Nothing has happened. He is closing his own account first, in his own order, and he says so out loud.
