I had hoped to see W today, my only day available to do so, but she was so persuasive that her workplace is too far away for me to go that I got the impression she didn’t really want to see me. I was reasoning this through with myself this morning, thinking perhaps I should just go anyway while replying to some messages on my WeChat moments, when I saw YW’s message and realised that I hadn’t told her I was going to be in Shanghai yet, though I had intended to meet her but hadn’t planned a time in and this would be my only opportunity, so I decided to get in touch with her, and soon we had arranged to meet for lunch at her place. I got myself ready and went out to the Bund to spend the morning getting some photos while making my way over to her house.
