Behind me on the wall, the phone rang.

“Damn,” I muttered. I should have turned the ringer off when I came in, but I wasn’t thinking about that at the time. I wasn’t thinking about much of anything, to be honest, if it didn’t involve Lee in that hot tub.

Ignore it,I told myself, but curiosity made me glance at the caller ID. An out-of-state number I didn’t recognize and beneath that, the word Massachusetts.Not one of my students, who were all out of classes and shouldn’t be calling now anyway, and definitely not the college. It wasn’t the clinic or any of Lee’s patients, not with that area code. Wrong number then, I reasoned. I didn’t know anyone that far away.
