Brian headed for the crowd, starting at one end of the barrier fence and working his way down. He signed autographs, shook hands, offered the occasional hug, allowed his picture to be taken dozens of times and put up with a heck of a lot of groping from female fans. Myrna waited patiently, trying to curtail her jealousy. She knew this was important. His fans made his entire career possible. Still, she didn't like all the touchy-feely young women rubbing up against him while he was distracted with signing an autograph or answering a question.
After about fifteen minutes, he offered a salute to the crowd and returned to Myrna's side.
"I'll have to go around the front of the bus and then sneak along the back side. Otherwise, they'll see me again and we'll never catch a break. You go between the buses and meet me on the other side. Pretend like we're saying good-bye now."
"Okay."
