#21: Together Seven Years Apart


Memoir - Week 21

I phoned Erin like this for months before it dawned on my love-stricken mind that a confession to my supervisor would be prudent. I told my supervisor I’d been phoning Erin at the Australian Federal Police’s expense in the wee hours. He advised me to further self-report with the accounts section, while his narrowed eyes and subtle grin conveyed to me an understanding of the situation.

“I see”, was the surprisingly friendly reply. “Well, Accounts doesn’t have the ability right now to itemise international telephone calls. We wouldn’t be able to work out what you owe. So, perhaps you shouldn’t make any further calls to the US”, the accounts team member kindly finished suggesting to me. I had taken a liberty and emerged unscathed.
