IT
S
LATE
AFTERNOON
,
AND
Mom
and
I
are
lying
beside
the
pool
.
My
mother
has
relaxed
to
the
point
where
she
is
literally
horizontal
now
that
Mr
.
Megabucks
is
not
coming
to
dinner
.
As
I
lie
in
the
sun
,
endeavoring
to
lose
the
pale
,
I
think
about
yesterday
evening
and
breakfast
today
.
I
think
about
Christian
,
and
my
ridiculous
grin
refuses
to
subside
.
It
keeps
creeping
across
my
face
,
unbidden
and
disconcerting
,
as
I
recall
our
various
conversations
and
what
we
did
what
he
did
.
There
seems
to
be
a
tidal
shift
in
Christian
s
attitude
.
He
denies
it
,
but
he
admits
he
s
trying
for
more
.
What
could
have
changed
?
What
has
altered
since
he
sent
his
long
e
-
mail
and
when
I
saw
him
yesterday
?
What
has
he
done
?
I
sit
up
suddenly
,
almost
spilling
my
soda
.
He
had
dinner
with
her
.
Elena
.
Holy
fuck
!

My
scalp
prickles
at
the
realization
.
Did
she
say
something
to
him
?
Oh
to
have
been
a
fly
on
the
wall
during
their
dinner
.
I
could
have
landed
in
her
soup
or
on
her
wine
glass
and
choked
her
.
What
is
it
,
Ana
,
honey
?
Mom
asks
,
startled
from
her
torpor
.
I
m
just
having
a
moment
,
Mom
.
What
time
is
it
?
About
six
thirty
p
.
m
.
,
darling
.

Hmm
he
wouldn
t
have
landed
yet
.
Can
I
ask
him
?
Should
I
ask
him
?
Or
perhaps
she
has
nothing
to
do
with
it
.
I
fervently
hope
so
.
What
did
I
say
in
my
sleep
?
Crap
some
unguarded
remark
while
dreaming
about
him
,
I
bet
.
Whatever
it
is
,
or
was
,
I
hope
the
sea
change
is
coming
from
within
him
and
not
because
of
her
.
I
am
sweltering
in
this
damned
heat
.
I
need
another
dip
in
the
pool
.
AS
I
GET
READY
for
bed
,
I
switch
on
my
computer
.
I
have
heard
nothing
from
Christian
.
Not
even
a
word
that
he
s
arrived
safely
.
