“Just make sure you tell them that you can get whatever information they want from me by letting you come back here.”
“Okay…I can do that.” She took a breath and said with more resolve, “I can do that.”
“Yes, you can…and you will.”
“Do you think we’ll ever meet…I mean see each other face-to-face?”
“I hope so…I’d like that.”
“Me, too.”
“How about we make a date?”
“When and where?”
“I’ll choose the time, you choose the place. How about two months from today?”
“What’s today?”
Using his best guess, he said, “February 27, I think.”
“So April 27? That’s a long while away.”
“I have some things I need to take care of after I get out of here.”
She didn’t ask any questions, but her silence was full of them.
“Okay, I set the date. Now, where do you want to meet?”
He heard a long, shaky breath and then, “I’ll be in the middle of the play. Can we meet in New York?”
Her comment lifted his heart. Not only was she determined to get out of here, she had decided she would win the role.
“Not a problem.” His voice held a smile as he added, “Top of the Empire State Building? Even though Valentine’s Day will be long past.”
She laughed softly. “You know that movie?”
With three sisters, he’d been schooled on romantic movies at an early age. That had been one of their favorites.
“Oh yeah, I know it.”
“Let’s do something a little less traditional, then.”
“Just name the place.”
“New York Public Library.” There was a smile in her voice when she added, “In front of the lions.”
“Which lion? Patience or Fortitude?”
“You choose.”
“Definitely Fortitude.”
“Fortitude it is, then.
“What time?”
“One o’clock.”
