16 Chapter 16

“Do you know your schedule for next week?”

“No.”

“Can’t you make something up? I don’t like being away from you like this.”

“I’ve been making up trips for the whole month. Jesse understands the system. He knows I’m overdue for hiatus. I almost blew it last night telling him I was in Florida when we were in Detroit. I didn’t know about that fuckin’ storm. He heard about it on TV and was suspicious.”

“Okay, I won’t press you any more, but let me know as soon as you can, so I can book a flight to meet you. And call me…when you can.”

Denny supposed Carter had anticipated his need to call when Jesse wasn’t around, so had added that last comment. “Okay, I will on both counts.”

“‘Bye, Denny…I love you.”

“I love you, too,” Denny said, still looking apprehensively into the living room. “‘Bye.” He disconnected the call and took a steadying breath.

“Clyde, come on you old hound. Time for bed.” Nick’s voice carried from his backyard one condo away.
