Marking Time
“This wasn’t Music Row. This was so far from Music Row it might’ve been in another city. Harvey Welshiemer, the producer who’d given her his card at a party before Christmas, had been delighted to hear from her and insisted she come right over to his office.
She pushed the door open and was hit by the odor of greasy food and what might’ve been urine. The stairs creaked as she made her way to the second floor where a small plastic sign next to a wooden door said “Harvey Welshiemer, Decade Rec...ords.” Kate looked around at the dingy hallway with the chipping light green paint. The blare of a television came through one of the other wooden doors. She thought about turning around, but he was a producer, so she forced herself to knock.
Harvey answered the door, and his ugly face lit up.
“Kate, honey, you made it. Come on in.”
With a wistful look over her shoulder at the stairwell, she stepped inside, suddenly aware that no one in the world knew where she was at that moment.MoreLess
