“WHEN WE GOING BACK out on the river, Chance?”

Chance looked over at his father, washed and dressed and lazily swinging in the hammock. He had sobered up at last and was now finishing off the last of the chicken drumsticks Chance had gotten from KFC.

“I don’t know, Pop.”

“Well, you better figure it out quick. I’m gettin’ too old . . . gettin’ too weak to be handlin’ that boat by myself.”

“You could always get one of those Williams boys to go out on the river with you.”

Pop laughed. “Hell gon’ freeze over ’fore I ask one of them sorry, no-good—”

“Alright, Pop. So you still can’t forgive and forget. I’m just saying, you shouldn’t be going out there on the river by yourself.”

“But now, I ain’t got to. ’Cause you back! And I know you back for good. Jucinda can’t do nothing to you no more.”

Chance wasn’t sure of that, because Jucinda Harris had never been one for idle threats. But he would let Pop think what he wanted—as stubborn as the old man could be, it was better to keep things that way.
