When the phone rang in the middle of the night, I had no idea that call was going to change my life forever.
I fumbled in the dark keeping my eyes closed, since I knew by the ringtone it was Danny, my agent. The silly tune was a Donald Duck voice that quacked: “Don’t answer, don’t answer, don’t answer! What if it’s somebody?”
I was tempted to ignore it, but since Danny never called at such an ungodly hour, I thought this might be an emergency.
“Do you have any idea what time it is?” I asked, my voice sounding rusty with sleep.
“Do you have any idea what great news I have?” he countered in his perfectly articulated, slick businessman’s voice.
My ears pricked. “It better be damn good for me to lose my beauty sleep.”
“You know you’re beautiful anyway. But this, my dear, is going to make your day. No, actually it will make your career.” He paused for dramatic effect, knowing that habit drove me crazy. Then he said, “Miss Kensington, I just got you a contract for The Diary with MBM Movie World.”
I sat up straight in bed, shoving waves of tousled hair off my face. “Get out! You didn’t.”
“Oh, yes I did,” he said smugly. “As we speak, I am in cloudy London and have just finished a late breakfast with Marie Bell, the producer. I’ve no idea what time it is in Chicago right now…”
“It’s five in the morning,” I supplied.
“… but I thought this was important enough to bother you at any hour.”
“God, you bet your ass it is.” I rubbed a hand over my face, trying to control the mad thumping of my heart as the monumental realization struck me. My novel was going to become a movie!
