Chapter 38
"Are you coming to Vincent's party with his new publisher?" Maxine asked a few days later once Laura resumed her work at DCF.
"Yeah."
"You don't seem so enthusiastic."
"It's fine," she said with a smile.
Truthfully, it wasn't. Laura knew that this new friendship with Vincent was special but yet she couldn't help but think back on what he had said, how supportive he was, how caring he seemed.
"How was your trip to New York with Vincent?"
Snapping back to reality, Laura said, "Great, just great. We got to go to Times Square."
"Really?"
"It was amazing. The city at night, the traffic, the colors, the atmosphere…for me it was heaven."
"Anywhere else?"
"Umm…I got to go to Broadway."
Maxine gave her a look, "How was that?"
"Good. I mean that I didn't see a show or anything but I saw it Maxine."
"Did it bring back memories?"
"Yeah. It did.
"Have
you told Vincent about your past yet?"
"Not much. I mean, I've said some stuff but umm…we're just getting to be close friends Maxine. Things like these take time to admit."
"Including on your situation?"
Laura looked up to meet at Maxine's gaze, "Yes."
"You're not alone," Maxine assured, "Even if you think you are. You're not."
Then Sean walked in, "Hey, did anyone else get the invite to Vincent's book party?"
"We both did," Maxine concealed.
"And are you two coming?" he questioned cheerfully.
"We are," Maxine said.
"Do you have a ride?" Sean asked.
"I'll be going with Amy and Lauren and Kyle."
"Great. And you Laura?"
"I would go with Vincent but he has to be there a little early for some interviews for the local media so I'll probably take a taxi with Donna and Ariadne. They are coming over to my place to help me get ready because frankly I have no clue how to prepare for that kind of thing that we're going to."
"Nonsense. I'll pick the three of you up. How's 7:30 sound?"
"Really? That's no problem?"
"No problem whatsoever?"
"Okay. Sure. I'd like that."
"Sean, Line 3 for you! Maxine, Line 2!" Robert yelled out.
"So it's a plan then," Maxine said, "Tomorrow we are going to that party no matter what."
