After and eventful Friday at the Dublin office, Cathal faces into the long weekend and takes the bus home. There, his mind agitates over a woman names Sabine, with whom he could have spent his life, had he acted differently. All evening, with only the television and bottle of champagne for company, thoughts of this woman and others intrude- and the true significance of this particular date is revealed. From one of the finest writers working today, Keegan’s new story asks if a lack of generosity might ruin what could be between men and women.
