As they walked down the long corridors to the elevator, Polly wrapped her arm around Tim’s waist for support. When she was finally settled in her cabin, she was still shaking. “I shouldn’t have gotten out of bed this morning. That’s it. My excuse. I’m not responsible for my actions because of sleep deprivation. Tell Arnie and Tommy they’ll have to cancel tonight’s performance. I can’t face an audience.” As Placenta laid out Polly’s bedclothes, including her bathrobe, slippers and sleep mask, she tsk-tsked about Polly having to also miss her date with Dorian, “or whatever his real name is.” Polly slipped out of her skirt and blouse and stepped into the robe. “Why would I miss my date? The fans can wait. My social life can’t. We’re not meeting until eleven. And don’t bother accompanying me to the Lotus Lounge. Dorian, er whoever, and I are adults. I can take care of myself.” Placenta put her hands on her hips. “At least get a plausible explanation for him lying to you.”
