I Dug Past the Loose Dirt and Rubble

Julian called the following Saturday, wanting to see me that same night.

“Be here at seven.”

“I’ve got plans,” I said. Jean had long ago invited me to The Sun’s annual Pulitzer Prize Gala.

“See you at seven. I insist.”

At seven I was still struggling with the bow tie of my rented tux. Then a strap on the cummerbund snapped. And yet Julian said nothing when I arrived. Not about the suit, not about being forty-five minutes late.

“This way,” he said. “Let me show you.”

He led me to the dining room table, empty except for two squares of paper. “Here they are.”

“What is it?”

“The tickets to Le Havre, the first leg of the journey. Just received them today from Bayen. Go on now, have a look.”

“They’re a lot bigger than I would have thought.”

“The S.S. Europa, man! She’s brand new! State of the art. Departing in four weeks less a day.”

“I can see that,” I said. “But why did I have to come to your apartment?”

“To see the tickets! Go ahead, now. Touch them!”
