Chapter 7 — Changing My Tie

“Thomas, what are you doing in there?” Her voice strained to sound pleasant through the wood.

“Changing my tie.” “You’ve changed it twice already!” “Then this makes three.” There was a silence, and then the hard, sharp click of her heels retreating down the hall, and I let out a breath I hadn’t known I was holding.

I dialed Genevieve.

It rang and rang and went to voicemail.
