Tea, Board Games, and Unanswered Questions

Carl never spoke much about his past.

He said he had worked in “business consulting,” but he never explained where. He said he had traveled, though there were no photographs around the house.

He had no family pictures, no diplomas on the walls, and no framed memories of birthdays or holidays.

He asked thoughtful questions and remembered every answer.
