L’HISTOIRE

Monday the fifth of August, twenty thirty. Daniel took the six o'clock flight, and just before nine, the airport doors open onto the heat of the Northeast. A taxi takes him over the bridges to the old port district, where the new office is. Edson, the local lead, is waiting at the door, with breakfast on the table. This is the conversation you'll be able to say by the end of the lesson.
