Apparently Brutus and Max had not gotten along as well as anticipated. But the older woman assured them she was quite sure the two animals would get used to each other with a little time—and separate living spaces. And, yes, it was still quite okay to leave Brutus with Nora on Wednesday, audition day. Only could Maddy please pack a muzzle in her dog’s playdate kit? Maddy lingered, chatting to Nora for way longer than was necessary. From where he stood behind her she could sense Tom’s edgy impatience.Truth was, she was using the chat to stretch out the time before she had to face him alone and explain why she had left the apartment against his advice. Finally, Tom politely terminated the conversation with Nora. She could tell he was speaking through gritted teeth. He took her by the elbow and steered both her and Brutus firmly through the door and into his apartment. “Ouch!” she said, pulling her arm away from him as soon as he had banged the door shut behind them. Brutus took off up the hallway.
