Love, Rosie (102 page)

Greg
on
the
other
hand
has
to
knock
thirteen
times.
Poor
Greg.
Sometimes,

most
of
the
time,
he
loses
count
and
Katie
refuses
to
let
him
in
for
safety
rea-

sons.
I
mean
really,
who
else
could
it
be
at
her
door
knocking
thirteen
times,

or
at
least
trying
to
knock
thirteen
times?!
Although
I
have
become
very

clever
and
only
knock
once
sometimes;
that
way
she
thinks
I’m
Toby
and
lets

me
in
to
see
the
inner
sanctum
of
Katie
Dunne.
You
would
expect
it
to
have

black
walls,
no
light,
scary
posters
on
the
wall
but
it’s
surprisingly
neat
and

tidy.)

I’m
not
sure
if
she
is
still
writing
to
you,
but
if
she
fills
you
in
on
any

interesting
aspects
of
her
terribly
busy
and
secretive
life,
please
let
me
know.

I’m
her
mother
and
that
is
definitely
law.

Everything
at
work
is
going
well,
I’m
still
at
the
hotel
and
I’m
the
longest

employee
they
have
there
now.
Funny
isn’t
it?
But
.
.
.
and
there’s
always
a

“but”
with
me.
I
know
I’ve
always
been
obsessed
by
the
inner
workings
of

hotels
but
I
kind
of
feel
“Is
this
it?
Is
this
all
there
is
to
it?”
Doing
what
I’m

doing
is
fine
and
all,
but
I
would
like
to
move
on
a
bit.
More
importantly
I’d

like
to
try
to
move
up
a
bit.
I
won’t
rest
until
I’m
managing
the
Hilton
hotels.

Greg
says
I’m
mad.
He
says
I
would
be
crazy
to
give
up
a
job
with
good

love,
rosie

159

pay,
a
good
boss,
good
hours.
He
thinks
I
have
it
easy
here.
I
suppose
he’s

right
though.
I
really
can’t
afford
to
take
the
risk
because
you
never
know;
I

could
end
up
back
working
for
Randy
Andy.
Now
that
would
have
to
be
the

most
depressing
thing
that
could
ever
happen
to
me.

How
is
Josh?
I
would
love
to
see
him
again.
We
must
make
arrange-

ments
to
meet
up
soon.
I
don’t
want
him
not
knowing
who
I
am.
We
always

promised
our
kids
would
be
best
friends,
remember?
I
don’t
want
to
be
one

of
those
strange
people
to
him
that
visits
and
once
in
a
blue
moon
squeezes

money
into
his
hands.
Although
I
very
much
liked
those
kinds
of
people

myself,
I
would
personally
rather
mean
more
to
Josh.

OK
so
I
think
that’s
all
my
very
exciting
news
for
you
for
now.
Write

to
me,
ring
me,
e-mail
me,
or
fly
over
and
visit
me.
Or
you
could
do
all
of
