"Sara, pleased to meet you. Me, I need to go to Ithaca. Dunno about David, though. But it's the same direction."
I should have been in Ithaca two hours ago for a presentation. But then the car broke down in the middle of nowhere and until the tow truck had arrived it was almost dark.
At least I was able to contact my clients and tell them I wont make it today. And now I'm sitting in a cab with a stranger and a cab driver who seems to be on her first day and keeps talking about things I never wanted to know.
Oh well, one of these days. I lean back and close my eyes.
