I pulled it from my pocket hoping for
the perfect interruption, glanced at it and shoved it back. …
“…For heaven’s sake don’t blame
yourself. I got the chance to spend a few hours feeling twenty-one again and
Hot Dog Johnny’s seemed a perfectly harmless place to do it.”
“Was
it?” Lilly rattled the magazine. “Perfectly harmless?”
I
think my shoulders drooped. …
Her
eyes widened. “Joho?”
The
back of my throat tightened and I waved at the still summer air. “I have a
phone call to make.” I started for the ladder and even shocked myself by
bursting into tears.
Lilly
jumped out of her beach chair so fast it fell back against the lattice.
“Johanna, why are you--good Lord--weeping? What are you telling me?”
I
swiped my eyes. “Telling you? Am I giving the impression I’m talking?”
