“Only on Tuesdays,” I said, struggling to hold my smile. “It’s lucky you got me on the right day.”

She laughed again. “Yes! Lucky me!” Then her smile faded. “But seriously, Hallen, thank you for helping me back there. I really appreciate it.”

“You’re welcome,” I replied.

We stayed for another half an hour, but it was clear to me that Laura’s thoughts were elsewhere. I tried to engage her attention a dozen times, but in the end I gave up.

“Would you like me to take you back to the hotel, Laura?”

She looked at me sheepishly.

“I’m sorry, Hallen. I’m not being very good company, am I? To be honest, it’s really taken the wind out of my sails seeing Jack like that. Would you mind if we called it a night? I won’t ask for a refund on the last hour.”

My spine stiffened at her words.

“Thank you,” I said, at last.

She frowned at my tone but didn’t comment.

We caught a cab back to her hotel, but she wouldn’t even let me see her to the door, insisting that I stay in the taxi.

And she didn’t mention wanting to see me again.
