Chapter 7
“Yeah, well, I’m really sorry. I hope it didn’t put you guys in too much of a bind.”
“So, uh, will you be able to come practice with us? I know you must be pretty busy,” Mark asked. There was an edge of sarcasm in his voice.
“I’ll do my best. I’m really sorry,” Bill said again.
“Well, we might as well get started then…now that you’re here. We’ve got some catching up to do.”
Mark began to rearrange furniture so they could work on blocking, now that Bill had joined them. As he did, he was explaining that they’d have to find time to rehearse with the other cast members.
It gave Frank the chance to whisper to Bill, “I didn’t say anything. Dennis isn’t acting strange at gymnastics workouts. So it’s cool. No worries.”
“You called me Frodo, so I don’t think he knew it was me. He doesn’t know me very well anyway.”
Bill visibly relaxed. “Thanks, I owe you,” he whispered back.
