He gives me a desperate look. “The opposite. Why?”
“Ah...” I close my eyes. Let mortification sink its fangs into my brain. “No reason. Have a good night, Greg.”
I close the passenger door, wave half-heartedly, and let the frigidair pop into my lungs. The North Star blinks at me from the sky, and I remember tomorrow’s job interview.
It doesn’t matter if tonight I made a fool of myself with Greg’s punch-worthy brother. Because with just a sprinkle of luck, I might never have to see Jack Smith again.

Hey Doctor H.,
I understand you don’t care about Chewie McChewerton’s gluten allergy, but what about the fact that last night I got a DUI? Does that get me out of the Physics 101 midterm?
Sincerely,
Chad

Subject: MIT Interview—Faculty Position
Dear Doctor Hannaway,
I wanted to say once again how excited I am that you’ll be interviewing for a tenure track position in the physics department here at MIT. We are extremely impressed with your CV, and have narrowed down our choice to you and another candidate. The search committee and I are looking forward to getting to know you informally tonight, at dinner at Miel, before your on-campus interview starts tomorrow.
If that’s okay with you, I’d like for the two of us to meet alone a few minutes before the dinner at Miel to chat a bit. There are a few things I’d like to explain.
