HE’S LOOKS WORSE THAN HE FEELS, which is, thankfully, a rare occurrence for a man prone to fists fights on the city streets. Karen’s words are blunt but honest, pulling a laugh from deep within that upsets a bruised rib on his left side, says, “ Aw, Karen, you really know how to make a guy smile. ” He eases himself down into a chair with a quiet hiss of breath between clenched teeth, leaning back once he was settles so he could stretch out his legs. Crappy chair, but it was better than standing. “ So, uh, other than making me feel terrible about myself, how’s your day going? ”
