After dinner, with Pickett snoozing on the back seat, Bishop drove back to Briarwood in the dark, the miles unfolding without registering, trees blurring past the windows, moonlit fields. All the way home, he kept patting his breast pocket, checking and double-checking that the receipt was still there. He stopped at the gatehouse, and the security guard hit the switch to raise the traffic arm. He motored slowly past the stables and around the curve and up the hill. He had assumed that he’d have to wait until morning to show Coach Fink what he had in his breast pocket, but lights were still burning in her windows. Saturday night. Maybe it wasn’t too late. He pulled over in front of her duplex, cut the engine. Pickett roused himself in the back seat, panting hard. For a few minutes, they just sat and watched. Finally, Bishop saw a shadow move past the window, and he left Pickett in the car and made his way to the door. He knocked and waited. Nothing. Tried again.

“Are you there?” he said. “It’s Lucas Bishop.”

A beat passed before the dead bolt thumped and the door opened, and there was Coach Fink in a Briarwood sweatsuit with her braid loose, hair tumbling down her back and over her shoulders and chest.

“Do you know what time it is?”

“I know. I’m sorry. I’ve got something to show you.”

“It better not be pubes.”

“No pubes.” He smiled. “This is much better than pubes.”

Released from its braid, her hair was crimped and tangled and wild, and Bishop thought she hardly looked like herself.

“Well, all right then,” she said. “Let’s see what you got.”
