So much had happened the day before; I guess I needed the rest. Janice must have left sometime during the night. By ten o’clock, I wondered why I hadn’t heard from Marcello. I decided to call him. “Hello,” Marcello said, picking up after the second ring. “Are you busy?” “No, love, I have a few minutes.” “My alarm clock didn’t go off this morning.” “I let you sleep in. When I spoke to Janice, she said you were still dead to the world.” Sitting up, I stretched my arms over head and my legs out in front of me. I yawned and said, “Thanks. I must have needed the sleep. How are you?” “Missing having your body to use at my whim but otherwise okay.” “You did a great job of that last night.” “So are you ready to admit I was right?”
