Prologue
September 15
HANNAH (6:00 PM): Hey. Fox?
FOX (10:20 PM): Yeah.
H (10:22 PM): It’s Hannah. Bellinger? I got your number from
Brendan.
F (10:22 PM): Hannah. Shit. Sorry, I would have answered
sooner.
H (10:23 PM): No, it’s fine. Is it weird of me to text you?
F (10:23 PM): Not weird at all, Freckles. You make it back to LA
safely?
H (10:26 PM): Not a scratch on me. Missing that signature
Westport fish aroma already (only half kidding). Anyway, I just
wanted to say thank you for the Fleetwood Mac record you left
on my sister’s doorstep. You really didn’t have to do that.
F (10:27 PM): No big deal. I could tell you wanted it.
H (10:29 PM): How could you tell? Was it me openly sobbing
when I left it behind at the expo?
F (10:30 PM): Kind of tipped me off.
H (10:38 PM): Ah. Well. I wish you could hear it play in person.
It’s magic.
F (10:42 PM): Maybe someday.
H (10:43 PM): Maybe. Thanks again.
F (11:01 PM): You didn’t have to tell me your last name. There’s
only one Hannah.
H (11:02 PM): Sorry, can’t say the same. I know several Fox’s.
October 3
FOX (4:03 PM): Hey Hannah
HANNAH (4:15 PM): Hey! What’s up?
F (4:16 PM): Just pulled back into the harbor after 3 days out.
F (4:18 PM): This is stupid, but you’re okay, right?
