We lay in our truck, us Badgerys. The children kicked at me with their feet, and put their elbows in my eye.

“Do you love Izzie?” Sonia asked me.

“I don’t know, Sonny. I haven’t met him.”

“Leah loves Izzie.”

“Yes, I know.”

“Izzie is Leah’s husband,” said Charles. “They were married, but not in church. Izzie is a communist. He doesn’t believe in God.”

“I know,” Sonia said. “Do you love Izzie, Charlie?”

“No,” said Charles. “And I want him to go away.”

I lay on my stomach and looked through a chink in the back door. The hessian hut glowed yellow with the light of a kero lamp. Leah, dressed in white, sat up in bed, writing. The whole hut was her veil. Charles farted. Sonia giggled. I was a fool again, in love.
