It is only after he has driven almost halfway home that B remembers his promise to Tamara to resume his visit. Since he doesn’t particularly want to go back—he had no friendships with women that didn’t evolve or devolve into sex—the promise hangs on him like an obligation. He notices a public phone on the next street and parks the car and walks over, thinking merely to be honest, not knowing how else to proceed.

He has to call Information to get her number but once inside the booth, her last name, which he knows perfectly well, evades memory. It is something with a G or a K, two or three syllables, a European name. There is nothing to do but go home (he has no impetus to go back) and call Tamara from there.

When he gets home there is a message on the answering machine from his father. –You forgot to take the jacket, his father says stiffly in a hoarse voice. It takes B a moment or two to figure out what jacket his father is referring to.
