There was a buzzing from the UMN phone in the back of the house. Jin caught it on the sixth ring.
It was a good thing, too, because it was Shion, and his sister's calls home were distressingly infrequent. For the better part of an hour she half complained, half bragged about her work. Being a project chief seemed to agree with her.
Then she said, "I'm glad to hear you're still working with Area 40 Publishing. It's been, what, eight months? A new record."
Jin nodded, not yet ready to tell her he'd quit that job three months ago.
