CHAPTER THIRTEEN

THE DOOR swung open and Geovanni stepped into the kitchen and headed straight for me. From the disapproving expression on my boss’s face, whatever he wanted couldn’t be good. I tensed, wondering what I’d done wrong.

“There is a messenger out front insisting he deliver a package to you and no one else.”

“Me?”

“Is that not what I said?”

“Yes, sir.” I wiped my hands on my apron and hurried out into the dining room. A courier was standing at the register, chatting with Mel. I approached them. “Hi, I understand you have something for me? I’m Benson Winthrop.”

The courier handed me an envelope, winked at Mel, and vanished out the door.

Intrigued, I gazed down at the envelope. It bore no handwriting, no clue to its sender. I broke open the seal and found no letter inside. There was only a single theater ticket.

Mel glanced over my shoulder. “Oh. My. God. I’d love to see that show, except that I’d have to stop eating for a week to afford it.”

“You’re exaggerating.” I turned the ticket over in my fingers. Broadway! Holy shit, Mel wasn’t exaggerating.

“Any idea who sent it?” Mel asked. Impossibly nosy, she took the ticket from me and examined it. “Pretty convenient, I’d say. It’s for tomorrow night. You don’t have a rehearsal then. It’s almost like someone knew your schedule.”

I still didn’t speak, lost in my own thoughts. That ticket, arriving in a plain, tasteful envelope, had aroused an unsettling mixture of doubt and suspense in me.

Mel, meanwhile, went on without any encouragement. “Very interesting. You know, this ticket is almost like… a lure. Someone’s just cast a line, and I’m fairly certain you’re the fish.”

“Don’t be ridiculous,” I said, snatching the ticket back from her. “You have an overactive imagination.”

“I don’t think so. I suspect I’m right on.” Mel looked at me expectantly. “The only question is… will you take the bait?”
