Magic City (2007)
“Alex pulled free, opened the door, and waved that she was coming. She had on gray linen slacks and a pink sweater set. Somehow managing to look both feminine and tough.
“Oh, I almost forgot.” She gave him a wary smile, snagged her purse from the front table, dug through it, and produced a silver cell phone, flipped it open, and showed it to Thorn. “You ever use one of these?”
“I’m more of a pay-phone kind of guy.”
She smiled and shook her head.
“You’re such a Luddite, Thorn. Come on, join the n...ew century.”
“I was just warming up to the last one.”
She demonstrated how to turn the cell phone on, use the speed dial to reach her own cell, then showed him the charging cord and where to plug it in.
“Why do I need this?”
“Do me a favor, okay? One week, it won’t corrupt you. Leave it on in case I want to check in, hear your voice, see how Dad is doing. Just in case.”
The cabbie honked again, and they embraced once more. Buck stood close by and pressed his head against the side of Thorn’s knee.MoreLess
