Book Launch
“Congratulations,” I said. “I’ve been following your development.”
The honored author uttered an inquisitive “Oh.”
“I mean, as an author,” I clarified.
A young twenty-something giggled placing a copy of the new novel between us. She begged for a signature. I turned around to mingle with others.
“Wait, I would like to talk with you,” the author insisted. “You look familiar. Have we met before?”
“Nice line,” I responded.
“I admit, not original. But say…”
“We met an hour ago.” I smiled. “You’re the new next door tenant at Argyle Road. You handed me an invitation to this event. Remember?”
