Chapter 58

• The following hours turned into a series of surreal experiences as Kyle and his sisters met people they'd only ever seen on screen or in print. They were treated courteously in some cases, like long-time friends in others. He was overawed at the presence of Charlize Theron, the natural beauty of Salma Hayek and how tiny Pink actually was, with her partner and baby in tow.
• Kevin Smith sent his apologies which disappointed Kyle, but he'd apparently been spotted by a journalist at the airport earlier and there was a thing about him and planes, so he'd gone home again.
• They had a few minutes to snatch something to eat at two o'clock and by that time, Kyle was famished and twitchy. Patricia put it down to the demands of the day cancelling his workout and his body was reacting to that, so when it was time to get into his suit, he did a quick set of pressups and crunches, then dived in the shower.
