When Nina walked back into the office after moving the quilt to her car, Michelle was on the phone. She looked up when Nina passed, nodded, but her smile looked like one she’d worn the night before and forgot to take off. If she’d been Michelle, she would have picked up the phone and pretended to be on a call just to avoid a conversation. It occurred to Nina that perhaps the reason she didn’t trust other people or their feelings was her assumption they might be acting out of the same motives she would. And since, most of the time, her feelings were such a cosmic mess, she barely trusted them herself.

Nina might have pondered that longer if not for two distractions. An email from Elise asking to see her, and a message from Greg Hernandez. Was her morning starting with sibling rivalry or was this a cooperative attack? She needed a strategy and decided her best course of action was to see Elise first. If she spoke to Greg first, and the conversation crashed and burned, which she expected, then Greg might have time to relay that to his sister before Nina saw her. Then again, she had to ask herself if they would actually behave this way or was she, once again, presuming how they would act based on what she would do?

She had fifteen minutes before her appointment with Elise, so she opened her iPad and typed her pitch about the AIDS Quilt feature and facts about it that she thought would heighten its appeal. Nina checked the archives of Trends for any features similar to the one she wanted to write. With the exception of an article over seven years ago about an eighty-panel display at Rice University, there was nothing that would make the feature a recycle. She’d need a photographer, but Elise would have to make the call on that. No telling where Brady might be, especially in the next few weeks. He didn’t seem to know where he’d be in the next few days.

Nina checked the time, examined the front of her black and white color-blocked dress for coffee spots, and applied sheer gloss to her lips. She looked over at Daisy’s desk, and her stomach still hit her emotional bottom floor with an elevator-like thud. After hearing Brady talk about her being in New York with Janie, Nina suspected that thud might be permanent.

Before she saw Elise, she needed to find Shannon. She’d emailed the intern a list of questions, and she wanted to discuss the possibility of Shannon joining her on some of the interviews and possibly going to some of the quilter’s meetings on her own. Nina walked around the office, but Shannon wasn’t at her desk. She left a “please see me” sticky note on the intern’s computer monitor, and entered a reminder in her iPad calendar to ask Shannon for her cell number.

Nina walked to the elevators, pressed the button, and almost went into cardiac arrest when
