Chapter 36

MICAELA CALLED ME LATE SUNDAY AFTERNOON TO ASK IF I’D given Danny her number. When I told her I had, I got a long pause as a reply. Then she said, “I wasn’t sure you were really going to go through with it.”

I replied, “I told you I would.”

She hesitated again, then said, “Yeah, but after you and Luke...anyway, I wasn’t sure whether you’d be having second thoughts about breaking up with Danny.”

“That’s the only thing I’m not having second thoughts about,” I told her, with a bitter little laugh. “So he called you?”

“Yeah, earlier today. We’re going to meet tomorrow evening for coffee. I figured I’d better start out easy. Anyway, I’ll be back on set after that, and I probably won’t have time even for coffee for a while.”
