Chapter 85: Emergency

The following afternoon as Maggie entered Michael’s building, she felt a slight sense of dread.  I hated turning Bobby down yesterday.  He seems like a nice guy.  I don’t want to have to continue to make excuses.  She glanced around the lobby on her way to the elevator but didn’t see him.  She stepped inside and pressed the button.

As she walked down the hall toward Michael’s apartment, she passed the door to 2107.  It was closed, and all was quiet.  She shook her head.  It’s ridiculous to feel disappointed.  This is precisely why you need a man in your life like you need a hole in the head. 

She didn’t see Bobby the next day, either, or the following few days after that. What the hell?  Maybe he’s avoiding me.  She rolled her eyes.  Why would he do that?  That’s the dumbest thing I ever heard… 

She was standing in Michael’s kitchen heating black beans and rice from the Jamaican place down the street.
