    Just not yet." Tuesday, as I edited and submitted the two very different submissions, I noticed she wasn't home. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I called her Wednesday, eight o'clock. She wasn't home yet, and when she answered I heard the sounds of a restaurant, the voice of a man. "This is Audrey," she said, in a most impersonal voice. "Hey, it's me." "Oh, hello. I can't talk right now, I'm in the middle of something, can I call you back later?" "Sure," I agreed. I didn't hear from her the rest of the night, but I saw her lights come on around eleven. She didn't open her drapes. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "There were some guys in from corporate, we had to take them to dinner. It went late, and I didn't see your lights on," Audrey explained over the phone the next day. "So I didn't call." "That's fine," I agreed, "Want to do something tonight?" "I can't, they're still here, we're going to have a long night tonight. There's some changes going down, and it's pretty intense. Why don't we do something Friday? Say about eight?" "Sure," I agreed. That night, when she still wasn't home at midnight, I wondered if there really was a corporate visit, or . . . ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Listen," she said when she telephoned later, "A very old friend from college is going to be in San Francisco Friday night, and I'll only have this one chance to see her. Would you mind terribly if I canceled? I haven't seen her in years. Please don't be mad, okay?" Peevishly, I agreed, "Sure, Saturday?" "Oh, ...

We're opening a new store in Sacramento, and I'm the only person on the staff that can be there - the guy that was supposed to go, his wife went into the hospital. So the boss asked me if I could take over. I've got to be up there at ten, and I don't know when I'll get home . . . Sunday, how about Sunday? I'll take you to brunch?" "Okay," I ceded. I wondered if my uneasiness could be heard through the cell towers between us. Her lights came on Thursday night after midnight. Friday, they didn't come on at all. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ At Carrows, just around the corner from the apartments, Audrey had french toast, eggs, bacon and coffee in front of her. She savored the food, as if she hadn't eaten in a week. "It's been so hard this week, work's been an absolute bitch. They're thinking about bringing in a new system in late October, that's what the meetings were all about, just in our region, and it's going to screw up our Holiday season, I know it! That's the most important time of the year in retail, what are they thinking! And two people on the staff quit last week, just when they needed them most, so now it's all my responsibility. I didn't know what to do at the opening yesterday, and the assistant managers thought I had all the answers and I didn't know shit. It was a terrible day, I didn't get out of there till after ten, didn't get home until almost one. I just fell into bed!" "How about your friend?" "Friend?" she was confused. "What ...
