Chapter 33: Finding Her Rhythm
Life on the 50th floor settled back into a routine more quickly than Michael could have anticipated. Few questions were asked about the departure of John and Ellen. Few were asked of him, anyway. He was fairly certain that Maggie would have told him if anyone was pressuring her for details. The truth was, most were content to see the pair gone.
Maggie and Dan accompanied Michael to court for the Phillips case and the transition was seamless. A few weeks later the jury declared the retired football star not guilty. That Friday afternoon found them all gathered at Doc Watsons.
Michael toasted to his new team. To Dan and Maggie, whove flawlessly picked up the slack.
As usual, one of Michaels blondes, Delia this time, came to the pub to meet him, and they bid a good weekend to everyone. Maggie had, of course, expected it this time, but felt the same pang nevertheless. I dont know why he insists on dating these vapid women.
