I pulled too hard, and three old envelopes slid onto the floor.

One was marked 2021 in my handwriting.

I knelt to collect them.

For a few seconds, the paper edges would not line up.

I was tired enough that this small failure felt unreasonable.

I put everything on the desk without trying to make it neat.

Under a stack of tax returns, I found a thin black binder with a silver tab.
