THE HUMID HEAT of a summer. In a roof garden with drinks and hors d’oeuvres. Listening quietly to conversations between women who sounded as if they had been born into wealth.

No, Alfred told her in bed, they’re country like you. They couldn’t tell a salad fork from a soup spoon.

Chloe fell out of love with Alfred—the way he sat around in his undershirt in the heat, talking angrily on the telephone; the way he smoked in front of the window so that it curled back into the room; the gun that traveled with him through the apartment, left on the dining table, on the vanity, on the nightstand.
