After Nell had repaired her makeup in the bathroom, she went downstairs. The kitchen had been restored to some kind of order, and Elsie was standing by the sink chatting to Mary. âJoin us, Nell,â Elsie called, something in the quality of her smile catching at Nellâs throat.
Nell picked up a brownie from one of the trays still out on the table. âJust as well Iâll only be coming to one of your parties, Elsie. Iâd be as big as a barrel otherwise.â
Mary said, âDonât you wave that brownie too close to my nose, Nell. Iâve been real good and resisted dessert so far. And how dâyou know youâre only goinâ to be at one of Elsieâs parties?â
âSooner or later, Iâve got to go back to Holland,â Nell said with a touch of desperation and felt the words like a death knell. How could a placeâand a manâhave wrought such a change in her?
âWell, donât be in such an allâfired hurry,â Mary said tartly. Then she turned to the other woman. âWhat dâyou think, Elsie? Has Charlie had enough beer that heâll get up and dance?â
âHe looked pretty laidâback the last time I saw him.â
âThatâs one of the things I like about Charlie,â Mary said. âHe doesnât get into the beer very often, but when he does, heâs a happy drunk. Maybe Iâll go and check him outâ She gave a gamine smile. âAnd introduce this kid of ours to a Newfie reel.â
Rubbing at the small of her back, she headed for the deck, where the noise level had risen considerably.
âSheâs a sweetheart,â Nell said. âI love to see married couples who stay in love. There was a Canadian couple who lived in the village where I grew up. They were in their forties when I first met them and they used to touch each other all the time. That sounds sappy, I suppose, but it actually wasnâtâ
âWere your parents in love, Nell?â
Trust Elsie to ask the critical question. âNo,â Nell replied slowly, âno, I donât think so.â
âLooks to me as though Kyle is falling in love with you.â
Nell said warmly, âOh, no, heâs not,â and blushed.
âJust because Iâm seventyâseven years old doesnât mean you canât talk to me about sex,â Elsie said with some of Maryâs tartness. âSexual attraction and love arenât always nicely distinguishable, you know. One of them very tidily over here and the other very tidily over there.â
The pink in Nellâs cheeks deepened. âIâve never made love with anyone,â she muttered, then grimaced in selfdisgust. âI donât know whatâs happening to me! Ever since I got off the plane in St. Johnâs, itâs as though Iâve turned into someone else. Youâre the only person in the whole world who knows that, and if you so much as drop a hint to Kyle, Iââ she searched for a suitably appropriate threat ââI wonât wait for the boat Iâll swim to Caplin Bay.â
Unimpressed, Elsie passed Nell a dish towel. âHere, dry these cups. Are you in love with Kyle?â
âI want to go to bed with Kyle.
