She
started
to
say
something
but
kept
silent
.
“
I
’
ve
got
to
start
studying
.
I
’
m
supposed
to
be
an
electrical
engineer
,
not
a
chess
bum
.
”
“
Okay
,
”
she
said
.
“
You
’
ve
taught
me
a
lot
.
”
They
were
quiet
for
a
few
minutes
.
She
finished
her
eggs
and
took
her
plate
to
the
sink
.
“
I
’
m
moving
to
that
apartment
,
”
Beltik
said
.
“
It
’
s
closer
to
the
university
.
”
“
Okay
,
”
Beth
said
,
not
turning
from
the
sink
.
He
was
gone
by
noon
.
She
took
a
TV
dinner
from
the
freezer
for
her
lunch
but
didn
’
t
turn
on
the
oven
.
She
was
alone
in
the
house
,
her
stomach
was
in
a
knot
,
and
she
did
not
know
any
place
to
go
.
There
were
no
movies
she
wanted
to
see
or
people
she
wanted
to
call
;
there
was
nothing
she
wanted
to
read
.
She
walked
up
the
stairs
and
through
the
two
bedrooms
.
Mrs
.
Wheatley
’
s
dresses
still
hung
in
the
closets
and
a
half
bottle
of
her
tranquilizers
was
still
on
the
nightstand
by
the
unmade
bed
.
The
tension
she
felt
would
not
go
away
.
Mrs
.
Wheatley
was
gone
,
her
body
buried
in
a
cemetery
at
the
edge
of
town
,
and
Harry
Beltik
had
driven
off
with
his
chessboard
and
books
,
not
even
waving
goodbye
as
he
left
.
For
a
moment
she
had
wanted
to
shout
at
him
to
stay
with
her
,
but
she
said
nothing
as
he
went
down
the
steps
and
into
his
car
.
She
took
the
bottle
from
the
nightstand
and
shook
three
of
the
green
pills
into
her
hand
,
and
then
a
fourth
.
She
hated
being
alone
.
She
swallowed
the
four
pills
without
water
,
the
way
she
had
as
a
child
.
In
the
afternoon
she
bought
herself
a
steak
and
a
large
baking
potato
at
Kroger
’
s
.
Before
pushing
her
cart
to
the
checkout
,
she
went
to
the
wine
-
and
-
beer
case
and
took
out
a
fifth
of
burgundy
.
That
night
she
watched
television
and
got
drunk
.
She
went
to
sleep
on
the
couch
,
only
barely
able
to
get
to
the
set
to
turn
it
off
.
Sometime
during
the
night
she
awoke
to
a
sense
that
the
room
was
reeling
.
She
had
to
vomit
.
Afterward
,
when
she
went
upstairs
to
bed
,
she
found
that
she
was
fully
awake
and
very
clear
in
her
mind
.
There
was
a
burning
sensation
in
her
stomach
,
and
her
eyes
were
wide
open
in
the
dark
room
as
though
looking
for
light
.
There
was
a
powerful
ache
at
the
back
of
her
neck
.
She
reached
over
,
found
the
bottle
and
took
more
tranquilizers
.
Eventually
she
went
to
sleep
again
.
