“We lost the tournament,” Dudley was saying. Sitting on the bench by the river looking at me with his one good eye. “I guess that was your fault, Shortie.”

“You were pimping for him. You set me up.”

“You said you weren’t sorry.”

“I’m not,” I answered. “I just want to get the story straight.”

I didn’t see him the next day. It was the second day, while the maid was at my house, he came and got me in the Lincoln and we drove somewhere, I don’t know where, perhaps along the new four-lane highway that my father had built. “I’ve never felt this way about a woman,” he said. “I don’t know what to do.” He stopped the car and kissed me. Then he drove to a park and we talked like generals planning a war. Staccato, fast, intense, the terrible intensity of desire. “I’m still married. I don’t have a divorce.”

“So am I. My wife’s crazy.”

“Where do you live?”

“In an apartment.”

“We can’t do it openly. He might take my children.”

“She’ll take mine.”

“Where will we go?”

“Now?”

“No, all the time.”

“We’ll get an apartment.”

“Okay, let’s go get one.”
