“It’ll take them about an hour to get us moving,” Cary says, pocketing his cell phone. “They said something about general trouble with the power relays.”

Alicia rolls her eyes. “That sounds like two hours if they’re saying one. At least we’re not due in court.”

“I’ve never actually been stuck in an elevator before. It sounds like one of those things that only happens in the movies or on television. You know, with women who are nine and a half months pregnant.”

Alicia thinks about that for a moment, how every single time anyone is stuck in an elevator on television something dramatic has to occur. What they don’t tell you is that in real life the only thing that actually happens is crushing boredom.

“What are we supposed to do for an hour?”

Cary has already slid down to sit and rolled up his sleeves. “Well, I have Angry Birds on my iPhone. We can take turns playing it.”

“You have what on your phone? When did phones stop being just phones?”

Cary laughs as Alicia slides down next to him. “It’s too bad neither of us has a flask of something on us.”

Alicia smiles. “I’ll make sure to add one to my briefcase after this.”

They are quiet for a moment, and then Cary speaks more seriously. “I’m glad to be back here.”

“Me, too. I mean, I’m glad to have you back.”

Cary smiles at her a little. “I liked Peter, and I liked working with him. I tried a lot of cases and learned some things about myself and the law. But it just wasn’t as fun as it is here, you know? I mean, aside from getting pounded on by random client drug dealers, I’m really enjoying this year so far. It’s a lot like it was when we started.”

“You liked it back then, with our little competition and all? I actually thought that first year was basically awful.”

“No, I didn’t like that, exactly. I liked working with you and Kalinda on cases. I thought we did pretty well together.”

Alicia thinks about that. “Yeah, we did. And you’re right—we are doing that again now. It’s nice.”

Cary hesitates. “I’m glad that you and Kalinda are ok again.”

She looks at him sharply. It seems to be an unwritten Lockhart Gardner law that NOBODY ever mentions what had gone on between her and Kalinda, so much so that it’s shocking to hear Cary refer to it so baldly. “You knew about that?”

“I knew . . . some of it.” The way Cary says that suddenly makes Alicia certain that he knows about Kalinda and Peter. For some reason, this realization does not startle her as much as it probably should have.

Alicia sighs. “I’m glad, too. I . . . missed her.” Alicia confesses this last part almost as a shameful secret.

“She missed you, too.” At Alicia’s skeptical look, Cary presses on. “Really, Alicia. You have no idea how messed up she was about it.”

“I . . . have a difficult time ever figuring out what Kalinda is thinking.
