Hi Marco,
I owe you an apology for yesterday. We had scheduled a video call at ten to review the partnership draft, but I joined twenty-five minutes late and felt embarrassed the entire morning.
The truth is simple and entirely my fault. I had forgotten to set my alarm after I had stayed up finishing slides for another project. My phone had died overnight because I had left a navigation app running after a late drive home from the studio.
When I woke at ten eighteen, I saw three messages you had sent while I had been asleep. You had waited in the meeting room and had shared the document link twice. By the time I had opened my laptop, you had already started annotating section four alone.
I know you had prepared questions we had agreed to discuss on Monday. You had highlighted clauses the legal team had flagged before the weekend. I had promised to review those notes on Sunday, yet I had focused on the presentation and had skipped the contract pages.
After I had joined, you remained professional, though I could tell you had rearranged your calendar to fit our slot. You said another client had moved a call later, which meant you had sacrificed a break you had planned between meetings.
I re-read the draft during lunch and saw comments you had written before I had arrived. Your summary had captured risks I had overlooked when I had skimmed the file too quickly on Friday night. I replied with revisions and had attached a timeline we had discussed earlier in the month.
To prevent this from happening again, I bought a backup alarm clock and had moved phone charging to the hallway socket. I also blocked review time on Sunday afternoons because I had learned that late-night cramming had caused mistakes in other projects last year.
Can we reschedule for Thursday at the same hour? I had cleared my morning so we can walk through the full document without rush. If you had already committed that slot elsewhere, suggest another time and I will adapt.
Again, I am sorry I had kept you waiting. You had done your part, and I had failed on a basic habit. I appreciate your patience and hope the updated draft shows the attention you had expected from the start.
Best,
Claire
