Never Let Them See You Cry (2014)
“—CHARLES BAUDELAIRE Take this job and forget small comforts, such as relationships, romance and a social life.
Working weekends makes sense on the police beat, so my days off are Monday and Tuesday. For a time I dated a lawyer. One night we planned dinner at eight. The timing would be tricky, since I worked until seven, but I thought I could pull it off.
Wrong again.
Minutes before seven, an emergency alert sounded at Miami International Airport: a plane with hydraulic problems limp...ing in for a landing. I snatched up a notebook and raced to the airport. The big jet circled for a long time, then touched down. A perfect, though heartstopping, landing, while emergency crews stood by. I hurried back to the Herald, wrote a short and went home, tired, but happy. It was 11:00.
On my front door I found the lawyer’s business card. Oh no, I groaned. How could I have forgotten? A single word was scrawled on the back: Why?MoreLess
