Countdown to the End of Us
We celebrated in her shop and filled the air not with cream, but the smell of barbecue.
And the tablet in her shop was, as usual, airing news that ruined my mood.
The news was talking about the Claude Group. It was a new company and was going strong in the first six months of the year. Now it was in a crisis, and Lauren, the CEO, stepped down. They filed for bankruptcy and started restructuring.
I changed the channels. Ah, better. Now it was showing a popular comedy variety show.
Laughter came from the screen, and the three of us raised a toast. "To a bright future!"
