All the thanks in the world to
Nancy Yost and the lovely team at NYLA for dropping everything and working on this story on super short notice;
Rossana Sasso for the content edit;
Stefanie Chin for the copyedit;
Maura O’Toole, Maria Rumorh, Harriet Chow, Katherine Heasley, Cassandra Bell, and Gail Leifkovitz for the beta edit;
and Jeaniene Frost for hysterically laughing when we told her this was going to be a “short story.”
