Daniel marches back into the hotel lobby. Kerry isn’t inside. He moves toward the elevators, stabs at the 11th floor.
Standing in front of room 1109, he paces, cools down. Lightly raps at the door.
Kerry opens the door, then shifts her weight to one foot. Arms in a pretzel. “Didn’t think you’d come back.”
“Can I come in?”
“Daniel, I said all I wanted to say.”
He examines her emotionless face. “I don’t understand you. Never have. You give me fragments, never all of you.”
Something in her breaks. Finally. Tears fall from her eyes and Daniel catches them.
