She
pulled
Kay
inside
the
door
and
led
her
to
the
kitchen
,
where
a
platter
of
food
was
already
set
out
and
a
pot
of
coffee
perked
on
the
stove
.
"
Michael
comes
home
pretty
soon
,
"
she
said
.
"
You
surprise
him
.
"
They
sat
down
together
and
the
old
woman
forced
Kay
to
eat
,
meanwhile
asking
questions
with
great
curiosity
.
She
was
delighted
that
Kay
was
a
schoolteacher
and
that
she
had
come
to
New
York
to
visit
old
girl
friends
and
that
Kay
was
only
twenty-four
years
old
.
She
kept
nodding
her
head
as
if
all
the
facts
accorded
with
some
private
specifications
in
her
mind
.
Kay
was
so
nervous
that
she
just
answered
the
questions
,
never
saying
anything
else
.
She
saw
him
first
through
the
kitchen
window
.
A
car
pulled
up
in
front
of
the
house
and
the
two
other
men
got
out
.
Then
Michael
.
He
straightened
up
to
talk
with
one
of
the
other
men
.
His
profile
,
the
left
one
,
was
exposed
to
her
view
.
It
was
cracked
,
indented
,
like
the
plastic
face
of
a
doll
that
a
child
has
wantonly
kicked
.
In
a
curious
way
it
did
not
mar
his
handsomeness
in
her
eyes
but
moved
her
to
tears
.
She
saw
him
put
a
snow-white
handkerchief
to
his
mouth
and
nee
and
hold
it
there
for
a
moment
while
he
turned
away
to
come
into
the
house
.

She
heard
the
door
open
and
his
footsteps
in
the
hall
turning
into
the
kitchen
and
then
he
was
in
the
open
space
,
seeing
her
and
his
mother
.
He
seemed
impassive
,
and
then
he
smiled
ever
so
slightly
,
the
broken
half
of
his
face
halting
the
widening
of
his
mouth
.
And
Kay
,
who
had
want
just
to
say
"
Hello
,
how
are
you
,
"
in
the
coolest
possible
way
,
slipped
out
of
her
seat
to
run
into
his
arms
,
bury
her
face
against
his
shoulder
.
He
kissed
her
wet
cheek
and
held
her
until
she
finished
weeping
and
then
he
walked
her
out
to
his
car
,
waved
his
bodyguard
away
and
drove
off
with
her
beside
him
,
she
repairing
her
makeup
by
simply
wiping
what
was
left
of
it
away
with
her
handkerchief
.
"
I
never
meant
to
do
that
,
"
Kay
said
.
"
It
's
just
that
nobody
told
me
how
badly
they
hurt
you
.
"
Michael
laughed
and
touched
the
broken
side
of
his
face
.
"
You
mean
this
?
That
's
nothing
.
Just
gives
me
sinus
trouble
.
Now
that
I
'm
home
I
'll
probably
get
it
fixed
.
I
could
n't
write
you
or
anything
,
"
Michael
said
.
"
You
have
to
understand
that
before
anything
else
.

"
OK
,
"
she
said
.
"
I
've
got
a
place
in
the
city
,
"
Michael
said
.
"
Is
it
all
right
if
we
go
there
or
should
it
be
dinner
and
drinks
at
a
restaurant
?
"
"
I
'm
not
hungry
,
"
Kay
said
.
