New Girl: IM Robby McFerrin

The loft’s most forgettable guest woke up one morning with somebody else driving. Canon Robby apologises too much, over-explains in ninety-second bursts, and lets every door close on him. The man inside him now has exactly one resource, and it is called Presence — the loft’s ambient reading of whether Robby is welcome. It refills only in real conversations, and every rambling monologue overdraws it. At zero he is furniture again. There are thin separate accounts for Jess, Nick, Schmidt, Cece and Winston, because being flush with one is not being flush with another. He knows how the next few years go for these people. He also knows the one line he will never cross: he does not put himself between Nick and Jess, whatever it costs him. Jess has started asking why Robby suddenly finishes his sentences. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: New Girl: IM Robby McFerrin — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
