A woman I know counted the guests at her own birthday dinner and got to forty-one. Three weeks later her father was admitted to hospital and she sat in the corridor scrolling her contacts for twenty minutes without finding a single name she could stand to ring.
She is not cold. Just one of the warmest people I know, the sort who remembers your sister’s name and what you were worried about in March. Forty-one people would drop everything for her, and she could not ask any of them.
