I woke up this morning at my friend's place in Washington, D.C.

We didn't have enough time to venture around the city together but had time to talk at her new spacious apartment and even pass by her new work place, the Bank.

As the novelty of her amazing work gradually wore out, she had mixed feelings about the type of family that most workers have, the physical and financial independence from the parents in contrast to emotional dependence, and the bureaucracy, of course.

We spent exactly 12 hours together, which was too short for having met in almost a year. But the short reunion left us yearning for a follow-up meeting, so looking forward to have her over at my place in New York :)
