I type out another message, wanting to give her a chance to tell me where she is, see if she at least wants to talk to me face to face.
I’m currently driving around the city. Let me know where you are, and I’ll come to you. We can talk about this. Please, Angie.
I hit send before Price has even taken his position into the driver’s seat. He starts the engine and we drive out of the underground garage and wait to enter the traffic. My phone begins to ring, I look down and see Angela’s name, I answer immediately, “Angie, I’m so happy you called, are you sure that you are okay?” I wait, and I can hear the sound of her breathing.
“I’m okay, Elliot, I just needed to get away.’’ Is she saying that she wanted to get away from me?
“You ran away from me. Why, Angie? What did I do wrong?” I had to know why she left me there, I think I can hear her sniffling on the other end of the phone, she is trying to disguise it, but it’s not working very well.
“I didn’t run from you, Elliot,” she pauses. I am about to jump back in and tell her that I was there, I saw her run away from me, when her voice comes back through again. “Never mind, let’s not talk about this on the phone. I’m at the San Remo. Do you know where that is?” a gigantic smile appears across my face. She told me where she is, I wouldn’t have to knock on every apartment door now.
“I sure do. Central Park West, I can be there in less than ten minutes.” I wait for her response. Tell me to come to you now, Angie, please.
“Okay then, I’m on level twenty-five in the North Tower.” Victory, she has invited me to her.
“I’ll be there soon, baby” I remove the phone from my ear and end the call.
“Everything okay, sir?” Price asks,
I plaster a smile on my face. “Everything is perfectly okay now, Price. Let’s go, I’ve got to go get my girl back”.
Price simply nods at my reply, concentrating on the heavily congested New York traffic.
I am on my way to the girl I love, and I am going to make sure she knows exactly how much she means to me.
