Jolene
,
”
Beth
said
,
“
did
you
ever
get
adopted
?
”
“
Shit
,
no
.
I
graduated
from
that
place
.
Why
in
hell
didn
’
t
you
mail
me
a
card
or
a
box
of
cookies
?
”
“
I
’
ll
buy
you
dinner
tonight
.
Can
you
get
to
Toby
’
s
on
Main
Street
at
seven
?
”
“
I
’
ll
cut
a
class
,
”
Jolene
said
.
“
Son
of
a
bitch
!
U
.
S
.
Champion
at
the
historic
game
of
chess
.
A
genuine
winner
.
”
“
That
’
s
what
I
want
to
talk
about
,
”
Beth
said
.
When
they
met
at
Toby
’
s
the
spontaneity
was
gone
.
Beth
had
spent
the
day
without
a
drink
,
had
her
hair
cut
at
Roberta
’
s
and
cleaned
up
the
kitchen
,
almost
overcome
with
the
excitement
of
talking
to
Jolene
again
.
She
arrived
at
Toby
’
s
a
quarter
of
an
hour
early
and
nervously
turned
down
the
waiter
’
s
offer
to
bring
her
a
drink
.
She
had
a
Coke
in
front
of
her
when
Jolene
arrived
.
At
first
Beth
didn
’
t
recognize
her
.
The
woman
who
came
toward
her
table
in
what
looked
like
a
Coco
Chanel
suit
and
a
full
,
bushy
Afro
was
so
tall
that
Beth
could
not
believe
it
was
Jolene
.
She
looked
like
a
movie
star
,
or
a
rock
-
and
-
roll
princess
—
fuller
in
the
figure
than
Diana
Ross
and
as
cool
as
Lena
Horne
.
But
when
Beth
saw
that
it
was
in
fact
Jolene
,
that
the
smile
and
the
eyes
were
the
Jolene
she
remembered
,
she
stood
up
awkwardly
,
and
they
embraced
.
Jolene
’
s
perfume
was
strong
.
Beth
felt
self
-
conscious
.
Jolene
patted
her
back
while
they
hugged
,
and
said
,
“
Beth
Harmon
.
Old
Beth
.
”
They
sat
down
and
looked
at
each
other
awkwardly
.
Beth
decided
she
had
to
have
a
drink
to
see
her
through
this
.
But
when
the
waiter
came
,
blessedly
breaking
the
silence
,
Jolene
ordered
a
club
soda
and
Beth
had
him
bring
her
another
Coke
.
Jolene
was
carrying
something
in
a
manila
envelope
,
which
she
set
on
the
table
in
front
of
Beth
.
Beth
picked
it
up
.
It
was
a
book
,
and
she
knew
immediately
what
it
was
.
She
slipped
off
the
envelope
.
Modern
Chess
Openings
.
Her
old
,
nearly
worn
-
out
copy
.
