“Max’s number is up on the screen, just waiting for my finger to press SEND . I’m not sure now why I’m so hesitant. There’s only one reason I’d call him, and the only thing I have to decide is the number of expletives to insert before I tell him to fuck off.
So what’s the problem?
I suck it up and punch SEND .
He picks up so fast, it takes me a second to realize he’s on the line.
“Max?”
“Anna.” There’s relief in his voice. “Thanks for calling. I need to see you.”
“Why?”
“I can’t talk about it on the phone. Can I come in?”
My grip on the phone tightens. “What do you mean, come in? Where are you?”
“Outside. On the boardwalk.”
I cross the bedroom to the deck, look toward the ocean. The boardwalk is crowded. It takes me a second to locate him.
