Bucharest
You hosted a party in the living room of our one-bedroom to celebrate my return after a month in Bucharest for work. There were new books on the bookshelf, but I didn’t ask. Some friends (a couple) asked that I join them outside to say goodbye—they had a young puppy at home that they couldn’t leave for more than an hour or two.
