Chapter 33
MAGGIE
I avoided Eastside Boxing and Nico’s apartment. I wanted to practice my audition piece, but I was scared of being near him. Scared he was going to ask me to help him get Bronwyn back. Scared that he’d be so far gone that he wouldn’t. Bronwyn wouldn’t talk about him, wouldn’t let me mention his name, not that I wanted to. She was better off without him. She deserved better. But she wouldn’t listen when I said that. She spent her days biking off to work, biking home, and sleeping. That’s all she did. I tried the tough love approach she’d used on me but it didn’t work. Guess I didn’t have the touch.
At one of my drop-in classes at Fluidity, I showed Robbie my audition piece. She was critical, and it hurt, but I needed to hear it. I had known all along it wasn’t there yet.
