738 Days: a Novel
“Chase asks, his arm holding the hotel’s service elevator doors open for me to exit first.
“I’ll be fine. It’s an hour,” I say, turning to face him once I’m in the hall. “Besides, I think they kind of frown on bringing random tagalongs to these meetings, don’t they? It’s sort of a members-only thing, right?”
His forehead furrows. “I don’t have to go.”
“I was kidding. You should go. You need to go,” I say.
Chase bobs his head in agreement as we walk toward our rooms, but he doesn’t look convinced....
Ever since dinner, ever since that almost-moment at dinner, he’s been extra considerate. Warm, friendly, checking on me during every break through the final three hours of filming … all while keeping a distinct physical distance.
In the van on the way back here, he kept a very circumspect two feet between us on the bench seat. Emily could have fit in that space. She probably would have liked to.
I’m not sure what to make of it. I keep replaying that moment at dinner over and over in my head, trying to understand it from every angle.MoreLess
