She throws the newspaper onto the breakfast table and crosses the room to the refrigerator. Her movements are stiff, jerky, and he knows she's upset.
"Mal"
"A business meeting, huh" Her back is to him; she's damned if she'll let him see her cry.
"What"
"The back page Sam." The gossip page.
Sam turns the newspaper over, sees the photograph, and sighs. "It's not what it looks like—"
"She's a hooker, Sam—"
"A call girl."
"Same thing"
"She's my friend."
Mallory picks up her bag and steps towards the door. "I have to go. Please don't call me."
