Tuesday With Morrie Audiobook Novels & Stories

I went back to my office. I pulled Henry's calendar for the past six weeks. Tuesdays, two to three p.m. Henry Morrison, who ran a significant division of a billion-dollar company and had a schedule that was typically full from eight a.m. to six p.m. with meetings that were genuinely unmoveable, Henry Morrison had been consistently, reliably, without exception, available on Tuesday afternoons for the past six weeks. No meetings scheduled. No calls logged. Just, available. I sat back in my chair.

She was merely respecting the fact that Maddie wasn't ready to talk about what was going on and Maddie appreciated that. Today, Audrey had recommended about three books to Maddie to read. Among other text messages of check ups and lame jokes. One of the books was about dealing with life hurdles. The other was about love and the hurt that came with it while the third was a book about forgiveness. Well, it seemed like Audrey was indirectly brushing her present predicament after all.
