Chapter Seven

Joey King spent the next two weeks taking longs walks in the

morning, working out at a small gym not far from his apartment, and

riding horses in the warm afternoon sun. Though he’d always been a

runner, he preferred walking to running. He just had to do twice as much walking to receive the same cardiovascular benefits he would have

received if he’d gone running. With all the time he now had on his hands, it wasn’t a problem. The small gym he joined to lift weights was only around the corner from his apartment, with a quiet, conservative

membership that was only interested in working out, not cruising for hook-ups. Joey had made it clear to Jarrod when he’d asked Jarrod where he could find a good gym. He’d told Jarrod he was only interested in working out, not in cruising men.

The horseback riding he did at the Tuscan villa where he’d had

lunch with Jarrod on the outskirts of the city became his own personal form of meditation. Joey had never been able to meditate like some people; he had trouble sitting still in the same place for too long. But when he rode through the tree-lined dirt roads of Tuscany, passing farms, going up hills and through fields, he discovered a way to completely let go of his

thoughts.

He met Jarrod for dinner a few times a week, and spoke with

Karla every day on the phone. Joey’s agent called on a warm Thursday morning after Joey had just returned from his daily workout and said he was still negotiating the deal for the film version of the Broadway play Joey had just finished doing. He told Joey he’d let him know when

everything was set. And Joey thanked his agent and said to keep him

posted. Joey didn’t have the heart to tell his agent he still wasn’t sure whether or not he wanted to do the film. Though he’d only been in Italy for a short time, he felt as far removed from Broadway as if he’d been in Italy for years.

Joey’s sister called late at night to check up on him. Though they

didn’t live close to each other in America, and hadn’t actually seen each other in well over a year, they spoke as often and as easily as if they lived next door to each other. Joey’s sister knew how devastated he’d been when he’d found Ned Stevens in bed with young Passion and she wanted to

make sure he wasn’t sulking alone in Italy. She even said she’d come to Italy for a week if he needed her. But Joey knew she was busy with her own life and he assured her he was fine.

For the most part, Joey was fine. Although he still had moments when he thought about what Ned Stevens had done to him and his eyes

stung, he’d never been more relaxed in his life. He felt older and wiser; he needed this time to do nothing so he could figure out what he was going to 59

do with the rest of his life.
