Daily field note

Splitting the bill, splitting the say

Who decides the plan, you or them? Today a one-on-one agreement feels heavier than it did last week, and someone wants terms settled. That seriousness isn't a threat, it's a sign this relationship matters enough to negotiate. Ask for one specific thing instead of hinting at ten.
