Benyamin stumbled along the walkway, warmed by the shots of palinka, and amused by his wife’s dash from the scene. What a spectacle she had made of herself, and now here he was chasing after her. He’d given Dov strict orders to remain at the table in the restaurant till he got back.

So, what was the harm in one little drink?

Okay, two or three.

Benyamin caught a whiff of his wife’s perfume and drew himself to a lock-kneed halt. She was nearby, hiding in the park.

“Dalia? Dear, let’s go back inside.”

When she failed to respond, he wobbled onward. His ankle pounded, his old wound burning with each step.

He heard a woman’s gasp, one short cry, and he hurried toward it. That was his wife. She had taken a tumble, most likely, out here in the woods along the river. She was a stout woman, lacking in athleticism. One dip in the pathway could send her reeling.

“Dalia?”

Ahead, lamplight glimmered between the branches. There she was on a bench, her head lolling and eyes closed. That was her, wasn’t it?

Who was the figure beside her, though?

And why did it look as though a thorny tangle bound them together?

As Benyamin stepped closer, the figure turned and gave him a languid smile. The other woman was young, beautiful, with a sensual mouth that glistened deep red. She ran her tongue along her lower lip and met his eye. In that moment, he felt the wound burst at his ankle and sensed something thick and crackly snaking forth.

Dalia appeared to be asleep, oblivious.

“Mr. Amit,” the woman said to him. “Come join us.”

“We can’t stay out here,” he said, thinking of Dov.

“You can share a little drink, can’t you?”

“A little drink?”

“Sit down here. We’ll all partake together.”

His queasiness gave way to desire. The very sound of this woman’s voice seemed to cool the heat at his ankle. He plopped down on the bench beside her, watched her run fingers down his leg, and then his thoughts were separating, spiraling away, carrying with them his worry and pain.
