When Kristina leaves just before nine a.m., I feel like I’m walking on air. I’ve written a complete book without heroin. The one soul on this earth I love is back in my life, and the words that had been trapped inside me now flow freely again.

I can’t help thinking life is good.

And then at just after noon, it gets even better. Someone knocking at my door rouses me from my focus on plotting out the second Silk book, and when I answer it I see Sheila standing there in all her glory. Dressed in a yellow sweater and a gunmetal grey skirt that seems to accentuate all her rough edges, she’s not exactly a sight for sore eyes, but I know if she’s come all the way to my apartment she has good news about something. Plus, she’s holding a bottle in her hands, which tells me it’s likely very good news.

“Ian,” she says with a huge smile as she marches past me into my home. “I bring good news. Where should I sit?”

Closing the door, I follow her into the living room and offer her a chair I never use. “Please, sit. What good news?”

Sheila sits and awkwardly folds her long legs to the left, but the effect is almost grotesque and I can’t take my eyes off how large and bulbous her kneecaps are. For a moment, I’m unable to concentrate as I wonder if I’ve ever seen knees like hers. She’s already talking by the time I regain my focus, so I’m forced to admit I need her to repeat what she’s just said.

“Sorry, Sheila. You lost me there for a second. Can you start from the top?”

Her face twists into a look of suspicion as she narrows her eyes. “Have you been…?” Her question trails off, and I know she’s afraid to finish the last part because of what my answer might be.

I shake my head. “No, I haven’t been doing anything like that. I promise. I just lost my focus for a second. Nothing big. Just early in the day for me.”

She’s silent for a long moment, almost like she’s mentally weighing the veracity of my statement against how I look, but then she smiles. “Okay. As I was saying, the publisher loves the idea of Marc Antony. Seems he’s all the rage because of some biopic that’s due to come out early next year. I had no idea about it when I told you to basically shelve the idea, of course. I hope you won’t hold that against me.”

I wave my hand in the air. “No bad feelings. Everyone’s entitled to their opinions. I know you love my work and how much you’ve done to get it out there.”

“I really have, and I think the publisher is thrilled to be having this to run with. I hope you can begin immediately. They want this for next fall’s releases. That means you literally have weeks, Ian. Weeks. Can you do it?”

Real fear settles into my brain at her words.
