CHAPTER SIX

Turk told Tomas Ginn about Lise—a little bit about her. How they had connected when they were stranded in the mountains; how he couldn't get her out of his mind even when they were back in civilization, even when she stopped returning his calls; how they got back together during the ashfall.

Tomas listened from his tattered easy chair, sipping beer from a green glass bottle and smiling placidly, as if he had discovered some kind of windless place inside his head. "Sounds like you hardly know this lady."

"I know as much as I need to. Some people, it isn't that hard to tell whether you trust them or not."

"Trust her, do you?"

"Yeah."

Tomas cupped the crotch of his baggy jeans. "This is what you trust. Every inch a sailor."

"It's not like that."

"It never is. But it always is. So why you want to drive up here and tell me about this woman?"

"Actually, I was thinking maybe I could introduce her to you."

"To me? I ain't your daddy, Turk."

"No, and you're not what you used to be, either."

"Don't see what that's got to do with it."

Turk had to tread carefully here. With the utmost delicacy, insofar as he was capable of it. "Well… she's curious about Fourths."

"Oh, my Christ." Tomas rolled his eyes. " Curious?"

"She's got reasons to be."

"So you want to serve me up to her? Exhibit A or whatever?"

"No. What I really want to do is let her talk to Diane. But I want your opinion first."
