Chapter 19

September. The end of summertime. Sam calls my cell phone and invites me to the Big Apple for the weekend. He has a two-hundred-twenty-five-page novel coming out by Briton Books. The book’s title is Tell Me Who You Are, a modern-day fairy tale between an older man and younger man. Sam’s throwing a release party for the book and wants me to attend. “You can stay with David and me. We have a Murphy bed you can use.”
