“You’re staying with Win at the Dakota?” Jeremy asked.
“Yes.”
“Where’s your wife?”
“She was here last night. She left on assignment.”
“She’s good on TV.”
“Yeah, thanks.”
Jeremy hadn’t met Terese yet. He hadn’t been at the wedding. Myron wanted to say that he hoped they’d meet, get to know each other better, but it didn’t feel right.
Myron watched Jeremy dig into his sandwich for a moment and then said, “Can I ask you something?”
“Shoot,” Jeremy said.
“Where did you fly in from last night?”
“Classified,” he said.
“Overseas?”
Jeremy stopped midbite and looked at Myron. “Why do you ask?”
“Your mother told me you were coming in from overseas.”
“So?”
“So Grace said you got here in three hours.”
A half smile came to Jeremy’s face. “Which means I couldn’t have been overseas,” he said with a shake of his head. “Always the detective, eh, Myron?”
“I just… I just want to know more about you, I guess. I don’t mean to pry.”
“Don’t worry about it. I didn’t tell Mom ‘overseas.’ But she probably assumed it.”
“Okay.”
“I’m actually stationed domestically right now.”
“Oh. And you can’t tell me where.”
“And I can’t tell you where,” Jeremy echoed. “And I just got called back. I leave in the morning for two days. But I’ll be back, okay?”
“Okay.”
Jeremy put down his sandwich. “It’s funny.”
“What?”
“When I was a kid, I wasn’t much into the whole sports world.”
“Because of your illness,” Myron said.
“Mostly, yeah. The Fanconi anemia should have killed me. We both know that. You saved my life, Myron.”
Myron stared down at his plate.
