bathrooms, combined living/dining space and a patio, too? She’d keep it clean and simple, safe earth colors, Julian’s style. But on what kind of budget? Sure, the black card on the table had no monetary limits, but did Julian? Did she? It had taken her almost a year to personalize her two-bedroom walkup. Just as a sense of anxiety began to creep in, her phone rang.
“Hello?”
“Nicki! It’s Quinn. I’m so sorry for what happened to you!”
“Thanks, Quinn. I’m pretty bummed about it.”
“I can’t even imagine how you’re feeling. You were so great in the show. Several scenes with the lead. Sold-out crowds.”
“Hey, I don’t need reminding.”
“You’re right. I’m...stupid and inconsiderate is what I am. Would you believe I was calling to cheer you up?”
“Ha! You meant well.”
“How’s the ankle?”
“Still swollen. Still throbbing.”
“Is it broken?”
“Worse, the ligaments are torn and the tendons are ruptured. The doctor said a clean break would have healed faster.”
“Tell you what. Why don’t I come grab you, show you around our cosmopolitan...uh, town.”
“I’m glad you didn’t say city.”
“I started to, but the lie wouldn’t come out of my mouth. I don’t know if you’re up for it, but I knew you were here and wanted to offer.”
