I replied. Carl grinned. “And I'm Carl” We all shifted into a small circle by turning the chairs to form a loose square around my desk. “Alright,” Carl started, tapping his pen on the table. “Let’s go with something easy. I don’t want us dying overnight over this thing.” Amber leaned in with a flick of her hair. “We could do The Great Gatsby. I already know half of it,” she said, smiling at Carl so brightly.
