Chapter Seventeen

Brian methodically rocked himself in the recliner, pushing with one foot. He set his chin in a hand while his elbow propped it up on the armrest and stared at a television that didn’t interest him. He smiled briefly for the dozenth time, picturing the look on Dani’s face when she saw him at the fight. But what pained him the most was missing out on Van’s reaction when she most likely told him of it.

He reached for the bottle of beer next to him. He put his lips to it, took a long pull of cold liquid, and then held onto it while he continued to think. It was time for the next step, he thought, although he was slightly worried that it might be too soon. But even if it was, he knew it would still cause a rift. That he was sure of. He smiled again, laughed even. He pictured it in his head, his masterpiece, and he couldn’t help feeling proud of himself. In fact, he wanted to watch it again, just to honor his brilliance. So what if she tried to use it against him later. There was no proof whatsoever that he was in Jersey that night.

He made a phone call thirty minutes later. “Yeah, I’m ready,” was all he said. The recipient only replied okay, and then hung up the phone. Brian returned to the game on TV and enjoyed the rest of the night with eager anticipation.
