Chapter Eight

The crystal dish of lemon drops on the oak bar dividing the kitchen from the living area of his apartment kept glittering in the sunlight. He usually kept it on the oak side table by the sofa, but Elyse had a habit of using it as a paperweight. Today it held down a scrap of pink paper he hadn’t bothered to read. The thing reminded him of Dan. Danny. Goddamn it. He was Danny when I met him, and he’s Danny in bed. I didn’t make a public fucking spectacle of myself for Dan Blake, I did it for Danny.

Lemon drops. Of all the silly things to obsess over, but he always kept them in the house now, since he’d discovered they were Danny’s favorite candy. Not that Danny ever visited him here. Something else that would have to change.

Images of Danny here, on the sofa, in his bed, flashed through his mind. Damn. For the first time he wondered what Danny would think of his home. It was simple. Plain, functional. Not unattractive, but he and Elyse couldn’t afford the expensive stuff yet. They were better off now than when they’d rushed out here as wide-eyed teenagers from Denver, and that was in part due to Dan Blake’s intervention, but they still had a ways to go before they reached the stage of throwing money around like the Blakes.

He should get up and do something instead of brooding over Danny’s strange mood swing last night. Call the agent. Find out what was happening on the work front.

Speak of the devil. His cell phone chimed with its distinctive “Money for Nothing” by Dire Straits ringtone. Elyse’s idea of a joke. She claimed they didn’t need the agent, that Marcus made money for doing nothing. Morgan didn’t care. They had enough for their needs, and Marcus handled the things he’d hate doing anyway.

“Marcus. What’s the good news?” He was waiting for word back on several possible jobs, one of them a minor speaking role in an upcoming Blake production. Dan had pointed the role out to him, assured him he was perfect for it. He almost had the impression that Dan had written it just for him, and that idea had warmed his heart enough to try for it.

“Well, I’ve got you an audition for a bit in a soap on Monday, could turn into a regular thing if the audience likes you.”

“Won’t that conflict with the Blake thing?”

Marcus was silent and sick dread grew in Morgan’s belly. “Marcus?”

“Yeah. About that. I got the call back from them last night. They’re opting for someone else.”

Morgan bit back the outrage, slapped a mental bandage over the blooming hurt, and stalked to his balcony, opening the sliding glass door to let some fresh air in. “Okay. That’s his...their right. So, give me the details on the soap.” He listened with one ear to the relieved babbling of his agent, wondering all the while if this decision had preceded or followed Dan’s weird ass mood swing last night.
