"Why not? I have nothing better to do. It's not like you had special plans to take me to lunch or anything. I mean, that'd be too much to ask."

"I'd have gladly taken you to lunch if you'd been home at lunchtime.

Dawn, it's two-thirty in the afternoon."

"Well, I'm sorry, if I'd had my own car, I could have left Boston earlier, but I had to wait for someone else, and then I had to stop at the dorm to get my things, so how could I have been here earlier?"

Sweetly, Celeste said, "If you'd come home yesterday, like everyone else, we'd have had time to do things together today."

"So we have tomorrow, and Monday, and Tuesday." She threw a pair of jeans on the dark pile and glared at Celeste. "Three whole days.

Aren't you thrilled?"

Celeste sighed. "You may not believe this, but I was looking forward to seeing you."

Dawn went back to her sorting. "Yeah. Sure."

" There's the phone. There's the phone again. There's the phone again. If that ringing doesn't stop, I'm going to tear the goddamned thing right out of the wall.""

"Hi, Celeste. Is she home yet?"

Celeste held the receiver out. "It's Marilee. She's called three times."

Dawn took the phone with a brilliant smile. "Marilee! How are you?"
