"Years fly by, but the heart stays in the same place. pg 193 of Promise Me"
— Harlan Coben

"Myron reached for the phone and dialed Win's number. After the eighth ring he began to hang up when a weak, distant voice coughed. "Hello?"
"Win?"
"Yeah."
"You okay?"
"Hello?"
"Win?"
"Yeah."
"What took you so long to answer the phone?"
"Hello?"
"Win?"
"Who is this?"
"Myron."
"Myron Bolitar?"
"How many other Myrons do you know?"
"Myron Bolitar?"
"No, Myron Rockefeller."
"Something's wrong," Win said.
"What?"
"Terribly wrong."
"What are you talking about?"
"Some asshole is calling me at seven in the morning pretending to be my best friend."
"Sorry, I forgot the time."
