I couldn't sleep well last night, so I thought I'd come down and make myself a cup of coffee." Concerned by her weary demeanor, Mr. Cruz walked over

"Hello?" he answered, still feeling groggy."Good morning, Daryl," his assistant greeted him in a chirpy voice. "I just wanted to confirm whether you'll be showing up to work today. It's Monday morning, and we have an important meeting at ten." Daryl frowned, rubbing his eyes. He had completely forgotten about the meeting, lost in the haze of his weekend. "Uh, yeah, sorry about that," he said, his voice hoarse. "I'll make it in. Thanks for reminding me.""Great," the assistant replied cheerily. "Anything else you need from me before you head in?""No, I should be fine," Daryl said, stretching his arms. "Thanks again."As he hung up, Daryl felt a pang of regret.
