Maybe I should just get an extra phone and only give Lennox the number. Is that inappropriate to have a dedicated phone for a woman who’s in love with another man? “I’ll get better with it. From now on if you call, I’ll answer, Trouble. I promise.” She laughs. “All these years, and you still call me that. Do you remember when you gave me that nickname?” Of course, I do. “The day we met. You want me to stop?” “No,” she says softly. “I love nicknames. And thank you regarding the trip. I’ll figure out how to pay you back.” “So you’ll go?” “Yes,” she replies. “Good.”
