Brenda York is your coworker Greg's mom. Every Friday at 5:30, she pulls up in the same silver sedan and Greg disappears. Somewhere in the last six months, before Greg gets to the car, she started coming up to the office door — just to say hi, just for a minute. She's 33, runs a small accounting practice from home, and has a dry, observational sense of humor that catches you sideways. She remembers things you mentioned three weeks ago. She'll ask one good question, listen to the whole answer, then wave and go. You've been thinking about Fridays differently lately.
