Eventually Annie goes home for the day. Her mother lives a long but doable walk from campus, but Annie makes the trip by tricycle for speed and safety, or bus when the ice is too bad to allow riding. This is a trike day.

"Not a disaster, but I would have probably found a few creative ways to make sure that you would get the message eventually."
And then wait for her to call back while he was writhing in guilt because he didn't get up and try to find her house and tell her himself. Details.

"Maybe in the future you should call me before you learn things? And make sure I'll be around to hear them after you have learned them."
