I've put the test on the sink, out of the way, and it can stay there till Sunday — I'm not doing this every night. But you lied about $600, Algy, and that's the bit I can't put down.

The $600's fair — you're right to keep holding it. But here's the daft bit: I've been reading "not every night" as "not this week, and not the weekend" and quietly panicking since Tuesday.

Since Tuesday? You could have said that on Tuesday and saved us both the week. What did you think the test on the sink meant — that I'd written you off?

Yeah — I thought the test sitting there meant you'd already decided something and were too kind to say it. I was showing off, pretending I was fine with waiting.
