Chapter 8

As we’re washing the veggies and chopping them, Lenore suddenly returns to the topic of the production of “Evita” where she met Poppi.

“You know, Nik, I didn’t really take to Frank at first. We were “just friends” until quite recently. I mean, it had been a long while since I’d dated a man.”

Maybe this is the wine talking. I do kind of a double take, almost like a cartoon character. What exactly is Lenore telling me? I don’t dare say a word in reply.

“Do you get what I’m saying, Nicole? I wasn’t looking for a man. In fact, I had a long-term relationship that ended shortly before I met Frank. Her name was Amy.”
