What kind of feeling was luke? The word lukewarm was not meant to be split as if the first half counted as an adjective on its own.
I rubbed the knot in my forehead. If this was an example of Ryan’s grammatical skills, I was nearly giddy with anticipation.
Also, I had forgotten to download Ryan’s résumé. But I had one other salient point to attend to first.
Ryan G. Moon,
The word is resumé with the accent mark over the e. Without it, the word is simply resume. Which the dictionary defines as: to take up or go on with again after interruption; continue. Example: to resume a journey.
Sincerely,
Preston Michael Shaw, Esquire
Her response took all of three-point-five minutes.
To whom it may concern:
You forgot the accent mark on the first e. It should be résumé.
Insincerely,
Ryan G. Moon
This time, I did not answer her missive. Instead, I summoned Ms. Finley via the phone’s intercom. “My office, please.”
That please constricted my throat.
She knocked and appeared in my doorway, without seeming the slightest bit contrite. “Yes?”
“Sit.”
She sat. Waited. Blinked innocently.
“Do you have some rapid-fire system that allows you to forward my emails to your friend in an instant? I’ve never seen anyone reply so quickly.”
April’s lips twitched. “She’s very conscientious.”
Now there was no doubting my throat was tight. “She?”
“Why, yes. Didn’t you realize? Ryan is a woman.” Now she did smile, widely. “She can’t wait to meet you.”
