The highlight of my day

Struggling a bit.

No sign of being able to go home. I don't understand why they told me I would have two nights here. Going into the fourth. ...

So lovely to see this little bloke. He was pleased to see me too. But I am acutely aware of not being able to smile at him properly and his little puzzled look as he tried to figure out what's different. ....

I know, I am not very good at being a patient.
