All this could happen and I wouldn’t necessarily barge through the apartment door and share that. It takes a nudge or a simple question from Nick for me to feel comfortable on a social level unleashing the 4 min story. “What's up,” “how’s it going,” “I had a weird day today, how ‘bout you?” is all that it takes. Just a simple prodding and boom, here comes the story. If he doesn't ask that because he’s busy coding, relaxing, or cooking, it won’t come up.
