LOVE ME LIKE A CURSE
Send summary.
I sent the summary with bullet points that were not bullets but en-dashes because the guide had opinions about bullets. At 11:08, she replied: Noted. Proceed to Catalog—Samples Box A3.
I stood—because she’d addressed me, even by email—and crossed the room to the tall metal shelves that housed the sample boxes. A3 sat third from the bottom. I lifted it carefully. It was heavier than it looked. Back at my desk, I opened it to the scent of ink and card stock. Inside: past campaign templates, mock-ups, little tabs that read DO NOT DUPLICATE.
