Chapter 28: Her Terms

"Tonight," I said, "I'm eating with my family."

The woman in the blue suit looked past me.

At Marlee, climbing down off the AV riser with her laptop over her head like a trophy.

At Lettie, crying into a convention napkin.

At Forrest, standing in the aisle with his hands in his pockets, waiting for me.

"Bring them," she said.

So we all went.

It was a steakhouse with white tablecloths and a waiter who called everyone "folks."

The model came too. She'd taken her braid out in the bathroom and stuffed the cream cardigan in a trash can.

The woman in the blue suit sat across from me. Marlee sat at my elbow with a pen.

Forrest and Lettie took the far end and pretended to read the menu.

"Tell me what you want," the woman said.

I'd had sixty thousand dollars of practice saying it.

"My name," I said. "Jessa Merrill. Never Honey anything, never a pen name, on every episode."

She wrote it down.

"I own the recordings. You license them. When the license ends, they come home."
