Jane spent all day waiting for Brace to call or show up at her house.

While she waited, she went about her business. She ate, did a load of laundry, read a book, watched television, vacuumed the floor. She thought about phoning some of her friends in Mill Valley, but didn’t want to tie up the phone in case Brace should call. She thought about taking a walk, or driving to the mall or the video rental store, but didn’t want to leave the house.

The day passed very slowly.

Night came.

By nine o’clock, Jane had lost all hope that Brace would call or arrive.

I was kidding myself, she thought, to think he might. It’s over with him.

At least I’ve still got the Game, she told herself.

“Oh, yeah?”

I will still have the game, if Mog ever gets over this stupid idea of giving me a rest period. If that’s really what’s even going on.

“It’ll be okay,” she said, nodding at the television. “He’ll come through for me. He won’t let me down like certain dirty creeps I could mention.”

I’ve just gotta figure out how to kill the time till he gets back to me.
