While the Insatiables toured the world, Alchemy and Moses e-mailed often. They limited their correspondence to politics and culture, occasionally mental and physical states, but avoided intimate confessionals. As far as Moses knew, Salome and Nathaniel still resided in New York.

Now that the Insatiables had returned to L.A., Moses and Alchemy were planning to meet for dinner at a restaurant in Pasadena sometime before the Insatiables took off again in a few weeks. Moses didn’t want to wait. He called Alchemy. His ire palpable, Moses didn’t begin the conversation with preliminary niceties.

“Alchemy, I deserved a heads-up. You know I scour the papers.”

“I assumed you’d decided not to deal.”

“That’s bullshit. You should have told me.” In forming his new Livability Quotient, Moses had chosen to believe the show would never happen.

“Yeah, I’m sorry. I fucked up.”

“Yes, you sure did.”

“I can’t undo it. She’s gone but she’ll be back. You want to know when? Ruggles has retired, but he’s willing to come out here if you decide to meet her. But Mose, we, you and I, still need to meet before I take off.”

“Why?”

“ ’Cause I have some stuff to talk to you about that might be better said in person.”

“No, spill it now.”

He paused. “Mose, well, fuck it—the Enquirer is threatening to do a piece about my sex life and … Jay, shit … They claim they got proof. No idea what they call proof. Mose, I wish all of this could’ve gone another way.”

Moses simply said, “Me, too,” and hung up the phone.
