Re: Nightly Field Dispatch

Dear Maya and Leo,

I’ve checked in for my flight home and I got a window seat! Boarding is at midnight, so I’ll leave while you’re asleep. Thank you for being such a kind host this season. I’ll be back next December.

Today’s mission: practise your best giggle. I’ll be listening.
