Waiting at Eros
Page 2
As always, Timor called at ten. It was five, New York time.
“I miss you so, wife,” he said, his voice husky across the miles.
“I miss you too. Not long now though.”
“One more week, and I’ll take you and our baby home.”
Yes, she was ready to go home.
“What did you do today?” he asked.
“I went up to the West End to do some shopping.”
“You didn’t over tire yourself?”
“Not in the least. I went first class on the train and took taxis everywhere.”
“Good,” he paused, and Janet imagined him smiling. “You spent the whole day shopping?”
“Not the whole day. I kept that date you made. Remember?”
“What date?”
“‘Let us meet five years from now, on Valentine’s Day.’ Remember?”
An embarrassed laugh came across the fiber optics. “Really! You remembered!”
“Of course I remembered. Pity you couldn’t make it!”
“I wish I had.” There was a long pause. “Did anyone else remember?”
“Timor. I waited twenty minutes, watched a bunch of Japanese tourists take pictures of each other, had a lovely lunch and got an early train home.” It was the truth. Just not all of it. Timor’s ego was already big enough for five men, no point in adding to it.
