MY PHONE RANG ON TUESDAY MORNING AT THE exact second my alarm went off. I checked the caller’s name and then answered. “So, Mr. Punctual, how are you feeling?” I asked.

“Alive. Again. And I’ve been waiting for an hour to call. Didn’t want to wake you before your alarm.” His voice was like a long, cool drink of water to my affection-parched soul.

I smiled. “I don’t have time to stop by before school. And you’re probably too weak to move. In fact, are you feeling better?”

“Yeah, I haven’t gotten out of bed yet. But I looked in a mirror, and I look normal again.”

“Well, that’s a huge relief.”

“I know, but it doesn’t mean I can’t stop. Just four more weeks to go, Kate. So I was calling to say . . . I won’t be able to see you tonight.” My heart dropped. After Sunday’s heartfelt conversation, I so wanted to see him in the flesh. To know that what we had talked about hadn’t just been a dream.

“Can’t you do whatever it is tomorrow?”

“I’m sorry, Kate. It’s really important that I get to it as soon as I’m able.”

I was starting to feel at the end of my rope with this whole project. “What do you want me to say?” I snapped, and then sighed. “Please try to be safe, whatever you do.”

“Thanks for understanding.” Vincent’s voice was apologetic.

“I don’t understand, Vincent.”

“You will soon. Everything’s going to be fine—I swear.”

Yeah. It will. Because I’m going to find another way.
