Chase
“We travel by helicopter, conveyed smoothly from one helipad to another with glorious views over the gold, scarlet and orange treescape in between.
I know it’s just a party, but I loved Halloween as a child. Now I feel excited all over again. And why all this mystery about costumes? I’m getting nervous now. I like to know what I’m wearing. These things need planning – make-up, lingerie, shoes all have to tone.
I pump him for information. ‘Pumpkins? Polar bears? Am I close?’ At last he puts a fin...ger to my lips and his eyes gleam a warning. ‘Enough. Or I’ll leave you in the hotel.’ I laugh and give up, glad he’s playful. But as we get airborne I notice once more how hollow his cheeks have become, how grim his jaw. The past few weeks have taken a toll. That thing in my drama class cut him deep.
We’re booked into the Plaza. The lobby’s all flashy marble and tinted mirrors but our suite is way up high, light and airy, with views over the Hudson on one side and the roofs and pinnacles of the city on the other.MoreLess
