While Kyle and Tatum are having a long kiss goodbye outside Black-Eyed Susan’s, Jack insists that Hollis take his cell phone number. “Call me later if you’re not busy.”

“I’ll be busy,” Hollis says. She thinks guiltily of Brooke, Dru-Ann, and poor Gigi, all of whom she left to fend for themselves. But… wild horses couldn’t keep her away from Jack. When she looks at him, she sees a fifty-three-year-old man but also a seventeen-year-old kid. His smile is like sunshine on her face. “Okay, fine.” She takes his number.

“I met your daughter this morning,” Jack says. “I probably shouldn’t tell on her, but she woke up at the McKenzie household and couldn’t find a Lyft, so I gave her a ride to town.”

“The McKenzie household?” Hollis says. “She was… what? With Dylan?” That must have been who dropped Caroline off yesterday, Hollis thinks. Dylan McKenzie!

Jack holds up his palms. “We didn’t discuss it.”

“What did you discuss?” Hollis says. “Caroline isn’t exactly my biggest fan these days.”

“Well, she seemed surprised to learn that you used to hunt and scallop with the old man.”

“Oh, jeez,” Hollis says. “I haven’t been scalloping in eons.”

“Bet you still remember where your dad’s secret spot is, though,” Jack says.

“I do,” Hollis says. She swats at him. “And no, I’m not telling you.”

Finally, Tatum and Kyle separate; they all say goodbye, and Tatum turns around one last time to wave. Hollis had planned to ask Tatum about the biopsy the second they were alone but she decides she should let Tatum be the one to bring it up.

Tatum stops in the middle of the sidewalk to light a cigarette. “Holly?”

Here it comes, Hollis thinks. “Tay?” she says.

Tatum releases a stream of smoke out of the side of her mouth. “Irina better stay away from my husband,” she says. “Or I’m putting a snake in her bed, and it won’t be rubber.”
