“He made it my business when he decided to fall asleep on my doormat!”
Charlie and the girl fell silent again. They looked at each other. She was still wrapped in a bath robe. Charlie shrugged his shoulders.
“What’s your name?” he said.
“I can’t believe you! Your brother rolls up on my doorstep, you shout in my face and now you want to come on to me?”
Charlie stroked his chin. “I know you from somewhere. What’s your name?”
“Will you just get your brother?”

Crystal hurried to get away, and almost walked into the short perfectly uniformed man standing on the side walk, with his Chauffeur’s Cap perched on a head that look slightly too big for his body. He stood aside to let her pass, and she scooted by wondering what in the world he was doing standing on the sidewalk outside her building in the first place.
