22 | When he finally got back to work he was surprised they threw him a party. | ||
23 | _**WELCOME BACK PAUL!**_ was written on a big banner across the back wall. | ||
24 | Someone had ordered a confectioner's-sugar cake with [frosting flowers][] on the corners. | ||
25 | It said the same thing as the banner. | ||
26 | "Welcome back, Paul" said Jill as he was at the punch bowl. | ||
27 | The cup was on the table as he ladled punch in with his right hand. | ||
28 | His left was wrapped in [gauze][]. | ||
29 | |||
30 | "Let me help you with that" said Jill. | ||
31 | Paul had a strange feeling this had happened before. | ||
32 | She took the ladle and their hands touched. | ||
33 | She picked the cup up in her right hand and used her left to lift the spoon. | ||
34 | "You know" she said "we were worried about you. | ||
35 | When Jerry heard about your hand he said 'There goes one of our best data entry men.'" | ||
36 | "I still can't really move my left hand" said Paul. | ||
37 | "That's alright you can take your time with the entry." | ||
38 | "I'm sorry." | ||
39 | |||
40 | "Sorry for what" she looked at his eyes. | ||
41 | He imagined her seeing [fisheye][] versions of herself in them. | ||
42 | "I don't know" he said because it was true. | ||
43 | "It's alright anyway" she said and placed the full punch cup in his right hand. | ||
