Seraphina
She knows about me?
Hunter
She’s a fan of your books. Was reading one on the plane on the way out here.
Three dots.
Seraphina
Oh my stars! I might need a moment.
Hunter
Take your time.
Seraphina
I don’t think I’ll be able to speak when you introduce me to her. How’s the recording going?
Hunter
We got a good take tonight of the new song. And we wrote a new one together.
Seraphina
That’s wonderful. Are you feeling like yourself again?
Hunter
Yes, I am. It’s about time.
Seraphina
I can’t wait to hear your new song.
Hunter
Margaret wants you and Tyler to come to dinner tomorrow night. Are you available? She wants to meet you. And so does Ivy.
Seraphina
Um … YES!!
Hunter
You’ll love them all. Have a good rest. See you tomorrow.
Seraphina
Good night and sweet dreams.
I put the phone in my pocket, listening to the waves crash to shore below. Somewhere in the depths of those waters a whale moved through the dark, singing his ancient song, seeking love.
Just like me.
FINALLY HOME BY HUNTER SLOAN
