“Petracelli. He was no warmer by phone than he had been in person. He wanted to meet. He didn’t want Mrs. Petracelli to know about it. Sooner would be better than later.
The sound of my real name over the phone lines had left me rattled. I didn’t want him in my apartment. The fact that he was using the phone number I’d given to Mrs. Petracelli felt invasive enough.
We finally settled on meeting at Faneuil Hall, at the east end of Quincy Market, at eight p.m. Mr. Petracelli grumbled about having ...to drive into the city, find parking, but grudgingly agreed. I had my own issues—how to strategically plan my shift break to coincide with the proper time—but I thought it could be done.
Mr. Petracelli hung up and I stood alone in my apartment, clutching the phone to my chest and working on finding focus. I was due at work in seventeen minutes. I hadn’t fed Bella, changed clothes, or unpacked.
When I finally moved, it was to set down the phone and hit Play on my answering machine. First message was a hang up.MoreLess
