Nothing Waits Forever, Not Even Love
Before I could even speak, a young woman's soft, sweet voice came through the phone.
"Donna? The Don is in the shower. He's exhausted."
"If you need him, try again tomorrow. I'm hanging up."
"Wait, Chloe, let me talk to him… I…"
But she hung up before I could finish.
I refused to give up. Fighting the pain that threatened to pull me into unconsciousness, I dialed again.
This time, I was met with a cold, mechanical tone.
Lying on the enormous bed, I gasped in agony. A cold fear of death washed over me as tears slid silently down my face.
