Forget Me Knot

To Greg, Jack, Don, and Jackie

(House, Bauer, Draper, and Nurse),

who kept me company on all those rainy afternoons

when I played hooky from writing.

AMY WAS ABOUT to slide her front-door key into the lock when her date, the knee-tremblingly sexy, not to mention witty and amusing, Duncan, whom shed been seeing for three weeks and who had just treated her to seared marinated loin of Scottish venison, celeriac remoulade, toasted hazelnuts, and Parmesan tuile at Le Caprice, drew her toward him, gently cupped her face in his hands, and began kissing her.

It occurred to her that somebody might see, but it was past eleven, and except for Perry Mason summing up at some volume inside old Mr. Fletchers apartment down the hall, there was nobody about. Amy made no attempt to pull away. As things got steamier in the kissing department, she was in no doubt that her first night with Duncan was going to be perfect. Shed certainly planned it carefully enough. Charlie, her six-year-old, was safely tucked up at his grandmothers. There was Mot in the fridge, fresh linen on the bed, and Space NK jasmine candles on the nightstand.

By now they were giving off enough energy to heat a small town. Lets move this party inside, he whispered. Just then, Amys mobile started ringing in her bag.

Ignore it. Duncan pulled her jacket off her shoulder and began planting kisses across her collarbone. This time of night is way past the cutoff for calls.

Im sorry, she said between soft cries of delight, but I really have to take it. It could be Mum. There might be something wrong with Charlie.

He gave a shrug and leaned against the wall, arms folded.

Had she glanced at the number on the screen, she would have seen that it wasnt her mother calling but her best friend, Bel.

Hi, hon, its me. Sorry to phone so late, but

Look, Amy whispered, sliding her key into the lock, this really isnt a good time.

Oh, God, it was your big date tonight. I totally forgot. So are you and Dan in the middle of things?

Duncan. His names Duncan.

Sorry. Course it is. So are you?

Are we what?

In the middle of things?

Sort of. Amy turned the key, but it refused to budge. Duncan saw that she was struggling and took the key from her. He started jiggling it in the lock but couldnt make it turn either. I think you need a new lock.

Theres a knack, Amy said.

Look, I wouldnt have bothered you, Bel continued, but Im frantic because Ive got the attention-this-vehicle-is-reversing audition tomorrow. Bel was an actress slash automated announcement artist, although she would be the first to admit that she hadnt had any proper acting work in over a year. Bels most notable workautomated announcementwisewas her Mind the gap heard at all London Tube stations where there was a space between the train and the platform edge. Then there was her highly acclaimed Power on, select valid mode, which had been taken up by vacuum cleaner manufacturers in nearly every English-speaking country in the world.
