“No.”
“What about this girl who’s impersonating you?”
Again she shrugged. “She can’t hurt me, can she? If my father wants a cheap victory, I’m big enough to let him have it. But, don’t let’s talk about that. Let’s talk about you. Don’t you think you ought to look around for a job?”
“So you’re considering me now, are you?” I said. “That’s new, coming from you.”
She looked up and I caught a look in her eyes that set my blood jumping in my veins.
“Why shouldn’t I think about you and your future?” she asked, putting her hand on mine.
“You wouldn’t suddenly have taken into your head that you could like me a little?” I said, squeezing her hand.
“I might,” she said, “I might like you quite a lot. But, you’d have to have a steady job.”
“So what?” I said, “I can get a steady job. A guy with my experience…”
“Why not see Andasca and find out if you could work with him?” she suggested, a little too anxiously.
