"Babe, what're you reading?"

"Oh, just... it's silly. This magazine about the most elite attorneys in the region. And a guy I went to high school with is in it."

"Oh yeah?"

"...yeah."

*she stares wistfully into the cream still swirling in her Twinings Earl Grey, her toast growing cool as her eyes glaze over*

"Babe, you okay?"

"Yeah, it's just... I was never very nice to him, that's all, and here he is. You know?"

"Babe, what was that guy's name? The lawyer?"

"Dave. Dave Steinman... wh, why do you ask?"

"It's the darndest thing, we were wrapping up work on those condos out at 82nd, turns out he was on the team doing the paperwork for them."

"...really?"

"No shit! Sorry, babe, for real. He was in the room when we going over the closing work with the lawyers, him and two other guys, he didn't say anything but he introduced himself while the other two went over the deal and he was in on it. Small world."

*she pauses brushing*

"...yeah. Maybe... too small."

"Steele & Silver."

*she winces for a moment... a secretary?*

"Yes, is Dave, Dave Steinman around?"

"May I ask what this is in regard to?"

"Well, he may not remember me, we... we went to school together, a while ago, I saw his name in the Super Lawyers and heard about his condo project and... well, we haven't had our will updated in a while"--she's talking too fast now--"and I didn't know if THAT was the kind of law he did or anything but I just thought I might call and--"

*interrupting* "Mr. Steinman doesn't handle wills and trusts, but I can put you in touch with someone in development who may be able to direct you?"

"No, no"--too quickly, again--"it's fine, I, he's too busy for me."

*she hangs up the phone and drops it on the table and stares out the window*
