Istepped out and found Marci and Laura down the hall talking to Biz. When we got back to Cal’s room, Cal was fast asleep with a meatball and a huge glob of spaghetti sitting on her chest, the fork dangling off the bed in her hand.
That’s my girl,” we said in unison. I put my arm around Marci.
“You guys good?” she asked.
“I think so. We’ve got a lot to work through.”
“Like you using her for bait to catch a murderer. Like you still being married.”
“There’s that.”
Marci continued. “Like her having a hair trigger temper. Like her sabotaging relationships so her worst fears materialize. Like her…”
“Stop. Please. Thanks for being so supportive.”
“Oh, I’m rooting for you two. You’re Twin Souls. You know, your hearts united in fiery passion.”
“Twin Souls? What the hell is that?” I pictured us self-combusting during wild love making, catching the bed on fire, and burning down the cabin.
“It just means she’s The One for you and you are The One for her.”
I smile. That I understand. I leave the hospital and catch up with Laura in the parking lot.
“How is she?”
“They are keeping her overnight. The chief medical officer is a friend of Cal’s and she’s running some tests. An MRI. Other stuff.
“Did Biz give the recording to Captain Kim?”
“Yes. I’ll file a motion to dismiss first thing tomorrow. After Aaron reviews the tape, I’m sure the charges will be dropped.”
Laura touches my arm. “How’s your complicated love life going?”
“Help me uncomplicate it. Cal is really important to me. Would you talk to Charlotte?”
“Let me make certain I understand. You want your first wife to talk your second wife into divorcing you so you can marry your third wife?”
“Something like that.”
