Beth
was
quiet
for
a
while
.
The
silence
between
them
was
palpable
.
Then
she
said
,
“
Let
’
s
have
dessert
.
”
“
Chocolate
mousse
,
”
Jolene
said
.
During
dessert
she
stopped
eating
and
looked
across
the
table
.
“
You
don
’
t
look
good
,
Beth
,
”
she
said
.
“
You
’
re
puffy
.
”
Beth
nodded
and
finished
her
mousse
.
Jolene
drove
her
home
in
her
silver
VW
.
When
they
got
to
Jan
-
well
,
Beth
said
,
“
I
’
d
like
you
to
come
in
for
a
while
,
Jolene
.
I
want
you
to
see
my
house
.
”
“
Sure
,
”
Jolene
said
.
Beth
showed
her
where
to
pull
over
,
and
when
they
got
out
of
the
car
Jolene
said
,
“
That
whole
house
belong
to
you
?
”
and
Beth
said
,
“
Yes
.
”
Jolene
laughed
.
“
You
’
re
no
orphan
,
”
she
said
.
“
Not
anymore
.
”
But
when
they
came
into
the
little
entryway
inside
the
front
door
,
the
stale
,
fruity
smell
was
a
shock
.
Beth
had
not
noticed
it
before
.
There
was
an
embarrassed
silence
while
she
turned
on
the
lamps
in
the
living
room
and
looked
around
.
She
had
not
seen
the
dust
on
the
TV
screen
or
the
stains
on
the
cobbler
’
s
bench
.
At
the
corner
of
the
living
room
ceiling
near
the
staircase
was
a
dense
cobweb
.
The
whole
place
was
dark
and
musty
.
Jolene
walked
around
the
room
,
looking
.
“
You
been
doing
more
than
pills
,
honey
,
”
she
said
.
“
I
’
ve
been
drinking
wine
.
”
“
I
believe
it
.
”
