During the early weeks of the pandemic I would have tea with that Russian girl and listened to what seemed like an inexhaustible supply of story about her “EX”

I was testing my patience along with my abilities to listen to things that have nothing to do with me; but mainly I was just somewhere between trying to be helpful and killing time.

It’s been 2 months now since her last visit and for reasons I don’t understand I haven’t had tea during this time. I also have not listened to any stories about addict’s however 2 addict acquaintances of mine have died in the past week.
