Page 9 of The Prophecy


  People called in with problems, and he gave them helpful advice. There was something about the guy that made you want to like him. He was so relaxed. Like nothing ­could possibly bother him. And he seemed to be actually interested in what ­people had to say. Every caller was the most fascinating person he’d ever spoken to.

  I don’t know why I kept watching. I’m not a talk show kind of person. Maybe it was because I was hoping William Roger Tennant would say something to make me feel better. See, there’s another complication to my dad’s having a girlfriend. A serious one.

  But William Roger Tennant ­didn’t say anything that made me feel better. He said something that made me even sicker than my dad’s middle-aged Romeo impersonation.

  A woman caller was complaining about being lonely. She was retired. Many of her friends had passed away in recent years. She was having a hard time meeting ­people.

  William Roger Tennant listened intently to her complaint. Looked thoughtfully at the camera.

  “Marie,” he said, “I know a great place where you can make friends. It’s called The Sharing.”
