To the second of our three distribution centers. The third was in New Jersey. Columbus and Reno were the distribution center capitals of the country. Row after row of warehouses of brand-name stores side by side. It didn't matter whether we were talking upscale brand or lowbrow, all the warehouses looked the same, distinguished only by the logos of their signs. Originally, I was supposed to fly home to Seattle and then to Milano with Kay. A problem with one of our fulfillment processes kept me in Columbus longer than I intended. I called Ophie and had her arrange for Kay to fly out of Seattle on a hired business jet and pick me up in Columbus. From there we'd fly to Milano. The schedule wasn't ideal. A red-eye flight from Seattle. The jet landed in Columbus at almost three in the morning. Which didn't matter to me. I was used to all-nighters and living on too little sleep. To me, the concept of time had become flimsy. I traveled so often I didn't get attached to any one time zone.
