Joan was saying my name, and Van was standing at the door, ready to take me home, and I got off the couch, feeling caught by the memories.

Joan gave me a hug and a kiss, and I thanked her for everything.

“I mean everything,” I said.

“You’re worrying me, Miriam,” she said, and then told me to call in the next day or so. She’d be back in school, teaching again, but she said she’d try to keep her evenings free.

The top was up on Van’s convertible, and when she switched on the engine the stereo began blaring Radiohead, and she lunged for the button to turn it off. There wasn’t much of a point to the silence; we didn’t have anything to say to each other.

She drove me home, and I got out of the car, thanked her for the lift.

“I’m having a thing at my house,” Van said. “Tomorrow night. If you want to come.”

“You mean a party?”

“Just for fun. I’m keeping it small.”

“I’ll probably give it a miss,” I said.

“Thought I’d offer.”

“I don’t really hate you, you know that, right?” I said.

“Sure you do,” Van told me. “Just not for the reasons you think.”
