“There was a long hard time when I kept far from me the remembrance of what I had thrown away when I was quite ignorant of its worth.”
―Charles Dickens, Great Expectations
IT’S TEN IN the morning in Paris, nowhere near daybreak in Nashville, but I haven’t slept all night anyway, so I might as well make the call. Since Riley sent me that damn photo from that gossip rag magazine yesterday afternoon, I haven’t been able to think of anything else. I question her motivation, but it’s probably not that difficult to figure out. Klein broke up with her, and she’s jealous that he’s hanging out with Dillon and hoping I’ll have some influence over ending that.
Her attempt to get me to intervene should not have mattered. Dillon and I are getting a divorce, so why would I care what she’s doing with Klein aside from the obvious business interests, of course? The question is, then, why have I not been able to stop thinking about it? And what is this hammer of jealousy that keeps pounding me in the heart? I really thought I didn’t care what Dillon does anymore or who she’s with. I realize that I have no right to question anything she does. I know I’ve hurt her terribly. Maybe I need to be forgiven, to hear from her that she doesn’t see me as the monster she has every right to see me as.
I pour myself another cup of coffee from the pot I’d made over an hour ago. It’s not as good as it was fresh, but I take a fortifying sip and pick up my phone, calling Dillon’s number. By the fourth ring, I’m pretty sure she’s not going to answer. When I hear her voice, I’m silent for a long moment, not sure what to say.
“Josh,” she says, her voice groggy.
“Are you still asleep?” I say, and then taking the edge from the question, “Isn’t it like ten o’clock there?”
“Yeah,” she says, and I can hear her trying to wake up. “Late night.”
“Ah,” I say. “What kept you up so late?”
She sighs and says, “Josh, what do you want?”
“I don’t know. I was hoping we could talk.”
“About what?”
“About us.”
“There is no us,” she says. “Remember?”
“Yeah, I know. I just—”
“What?” she says. “You just what?”
“I guess I’ve been thinking that it seems a shame to throw away what we had.”
“Oh, and what has you thinking this, Josh?”
“I don’t know. You being gone. I saw that picture of you with Klein in a magazine.”
She makes a sound of disbelief. “So you’re telling me now that you’re jealous after I spent how long throwing myself at you to no avail as your wife? You didn’t want me, Josh. Why would you want me now? Because someone else is trying to play with your toy?”
“Don’t be crude,” I say.
“I’m not being crude. You’re like a little boy, Josh. Even when you’re tired of your toy, you don’t want anyone else to have it.”
“That’s not how I see it,” I say.
