Uh-oh. Bad news from Dwight.

Karen had gotten to the vending machine before Jim had.

She had a sudden flash of a cartoon that Jim had pinned to her chair once, after a prank on Dwight had backfired.

It was a little cartoon dog with a thought bubble over his head that read “Drat! Foiled again!”

She’d giggled and blushed and taped it to her computer. She’d taken it down when he’d transferred to Stamford, unwilling to torment herself with memories…

She wondered where it was…and what Jim would say to Karen…and why things always had to become so complicated.
