Finally that stupid song gets driven out of your head. Curtis is being ridiculous. Things are just getting started. Things are going great. No way you’d split.

Sometimes you wish Curtis would just keep his mouth shut. Keep his thoughts to himself—Curtis’s thoughts are like dark fingers, trying to wrap themselves around your ankles and drag you down.

The truth is, Heather fills all the little bitty gaps you didn’t even know you had. Nowadays you’re completely different from when—well, you’re not even going to think about that. There’s nothing to think about. How you used to feel—well, you just don’t feel that way anymore, that’s all.

You remind yourself how, when Curtis was immersed in Kat, you and Dobie used to tell him to his face that Kat had him pussy whipped. Curtis never got mad, never once got upset about it. Curtis just let the comments rain down around him, brushed them all aside, and went about his business.

That’s what you need to do right now. Just brush all his talk about Heather aside. And go on about your business.

One of Becky’s calves bawls somewhere in the field behind the barn. The old screen on the kitchen door vibrates in the grip of an unseen breeze. It’s a bright, sunny day outside. A beautiful day. You can smell the fresh-cut grass.

“Hey, guess what?” Curtis says out of the blue. “I actually spoke to the old man on the phone.”
