"Sleep well?" David asked, leaning against my door, when I came back from washing my face.
I looked at his alert face, sighed, and borrowed his cup of coffee.
"You really aren't a morning person." David dug sugar packets out of his pocket. "Finish that and I'll get you its cousin."
"You'd better find its double cousin. I need a transfusion of caffeine."
"Bad dream last night."
"That thing you call a "mattress" didn't help matters either. My couch is more comfortable. I should have stayed at your place."
David turned me around and started rubbing the kinks out of my neck.
"Better?"
I leaned in and rolled my neck. For once, it didn't pop. "Much better. Thanks."
David nodded to the library. "We have a date with Steven Zito at 8:00. Zito said he would meet us there."
"You called Steven last night?"
David nodded as we walked to the library.
We worked on my screen play until noon. Cat showed up sometime after that, and I took a ten minute lunch.
Around 1:30, Dave tilted his head toward the drinking fountain. "Jaidyn, why don't you go get a drink."
I glanced at David, then Cat, then Steven, then got to my feet. "I won't be long."
They were conferring without me which meant I was the likely topic of conversation. Most likely they were trying to figure out how to get me to "vent" about Hallee.
Cat squeezed my hand and let me slip past.
