Lil goes on for another page, mostly about those “cold awkward health matters.” Her cringing desperation, which she makes no effort to contain, makes me resent her at first. It surprises me, though it shouldn’t, as do her momentary lapses of logic (who would excuse an aversion to adopting with free castration for kittens?).

But haven’t I often envied those who are unflinchingly honest? (Wasn’t Lil’s dancing, which flickered repeatedly in my mind as I drove north this evening, enchanting because of its aggressive physical candor?) And I know I will forgive her the benevolent lie—that she thought first of me, not of Dennis. (How my eavesdropping led me wrong there!)

When I finish her letter for the second time, I laugh at the cockeyed notion that this—not Mal’s death or my poorly timed debauchery—might finally get me tested. “Life is unpredictable, that’s obvious and not a bad thing,” Mal once said. “What’s insulting is that it has a Wall Street sense of humor.” Tasteless jokes in abundant supply.
