The Rock Season (32 page)

“But Jesse, didn’t you want to stay for dinner?  I’ve got to run, I’ve got another engagement, but it would be good for you and Danny to, uh, talk strategy don’t you think?”  He was looking out the window again, fuming.  I glanced at Patricia and she was giving me a pleading look.

“I guess.  Thank you.”  She moved to get out of the booth and shook my hand again.  

“It was nice meeting you, Jesse.  I’ll be in touch with you on Tuesday.  Danny,” she said in a warning tone.  He waved to her without looking and she rolled her eyes.

“Goodnight,” I called to her as she was leaving.  I hesitated for a moment before sitting back down.  He still wasn’t looking at me and all of his energy was screaming that he wished he were anyplace other than here.
