Harrison Winslow sent the car to Berkeley to pick Tana up at noon the next day, and they went to Trader Vic’s for lunch. The atmosphere was festive and the food was good; he had been told at the hotel that it would be an appropriate place to go. And he enjoyed her company almost too much as they chatted again, about Harry, but other things as well. He was impressed by how bright she was, and she told him about Freeman Blake, and her friend who had died, and Miriam who had influenced her to go to law school. “I just hope I survive. It’s even harder than I thought it would be.” She smiled.

“And you really think Harry could do something like that?”

“He can do anything he wants to do. The trouble is he’d rather fool around.” She blushed and he laughed.

“I agree with you. He does like to fool around. He thinks it’s congenital. But actually, I was a lot more serious than he in my youth, and my father was a very scholarly man. He even wrote two books on philosophy.” They chatted on for a while, and it was the most pleasant interlude Tana had spent in a long, long time. She looked guiltily at her watch eventually, and they hurried off to the hospital, bringing Harry a bag of fortune cookies. Tana had insisted on bringing him a drink. They brought him a huge Scorpion with a gardenia floating in it, and he took a long sip and grinned.

“Merry Christmas to you too.” But she could see that he didn’t look pleased that she and his father had made friends, and finally when his father left the room and went downstairs to make a call, he glared at her.

“What are you looking so pleasant about?” It was good for him to be mad, she didn’t mind. It would help bring him back to life.

“You know how I feel about him, Tan. Don’t let him do a snow job on you.”

“He’s not. He wouldn’t be here if he didn’t care about you. Don’t be so goddamn stubborn and give him a chance.”

“Oh, for chrissake.” He’d have walked out of the room and slammed the door if he could. “What a crock of shit that is. Is that what he’s been telling you?” She couldn’t tell him all that Harrison had been telling her because she knew he wouldn’t want her to, but she also knew by now how he felt about his son, and she was convinced of his sincerity. She was growing fonder of him by the hour, and she wished Harry would try to be more open to him.

“He’s a decent man. Give him a chance.”

“He’s a son of a bitch and I hate his guts.” And with that, Harrison Winslow walked into the room, just in time to hear Harry’s words, and Tana went pale. The three looked at each other, and Harrison was quick to reassure her.

“That’s not the first time I’ve heard that.
