“Oh. I almost forgot. Knock, knock.” I’m piecing this together, and I’m not sure how one of her infamous knock-knock jokes fits in, but it’s a blast from the past I’ve been mentally revisiting all day. “Huh?” I ask. “Knock. Knock.” She quirks her mouth so that damn dimple dents one cheek. “Humor me.” “Okay. Who’s there?” All signs of humor fall off her face. “Lamont Christopher’s new agent.” A few quick steps bring her back immediately in front of me and she pokes her sharp little nail into my chest. “Block that, motherfucker.” She blocked my shot.
