I'd really like a stiff drink but I refuse to have one. I assume there's a good reason he or she is late and don't bother to ask. I've used the time to dash off an email for week and say so. We're good! I smile and welcome him or her. I don't mind waiting. He or she looks really stressed. I say, 'I hope you're okay!' I'm sure he or she had something more important to do. ▶ Next Question ◀
