Chapter 116
A fter buying Dani a new phone and picking up a large coffee for her, I head to her apartment building. It would be polite to call up. I’m in no position right now to go up to her door and knock.
“Can you tell Dani Sommer that Adam Harris is here?” I ask the doorman. He looks her up on his computer and cocks an eyebrow. “Don’t you live there too?”
“We had a fight.” I do not want to explain that this is her place I’m paying for.
“Oh,” he says, and this is awkward.
“She’ll probably refuse to let me up. But can you say I have a new phone for her … And I’m starting therapy.”
The guy looks uncomfortable, then calls her. “He said you would say that. Let me hand the phone over to him.”
Smart man. “Dani, I’m sorry for everything that happened yesterday. I have a new phone for you, and I am scheduled to see a therapist three days a week for the foreseeable future. I also have coffee.”
“I don’t need … or want anything from you,” she says through the phone, emotionless.
“Can I please bring them to you?”
“I already bought a new phone with my own money,” she says tightly. “You need to leave. You’re not welcome here.”
“Okay,” I hesitate. “I’m sorry. I love you.” She hangs up before I can share that I’m thinking about retiring.
