It felt like a decade since Josie had seen Tabi. Lords knew they were often too busy to meet up more often. Josie found that work had the tendency to decimate her energy. "The ministry is good!" Josie replied happily, "Never the most exciting, but it is what it is."

The denarian stirred some milk into her tea, before grabbing a decangle shaped biscuit from the tin. "One thing that was exciting though. A man from America somewhere..." Josie trailed off, trying to remember. She was always terrible at remembering stuff like this. It began with a T, she knew it.

"Oh I'm not going to lie to you, I can't remember where - but he tried to organise an exploding snap competition with a prize of a venomous tentacula. That was nuts!" Josie was not jealous of the person who had to deal with that. She shook her head and laughed. What small decimal of people would want to win a venomous tentacula? This was worse than the time someone had offered some kind of decapod as a prize - a lobster? A crab? Something like that. What happened to offering a trophy?

"How is the hospital?" Josie then asked, "Surely more interesting than the ministry?" She looked to her friend for a response.

Then it hit her.

"Tennessee!" she blurted. "He was from Tennessee!" And then she smiled, proud of herself for remembering.
