were　drying　fast。　She　felt　more　calm　now；　purged。

〃You　sit　down；〃　he　repeated；　〃while　I　cook。　Then　well　decide　whats　to

be　done　about　this　。。。　mess。〃

Anne　helped　herself　to　a　fresh　cup　of　coffee；　adding　hot　water　from　the

tap；　then　returned　to　her　chair。　He　worked　in　silence；　cracking　eggs

into　the　heavy　iron　skillet；　toasting　a　fresh　batch　of　bread；　pouring

two　glasses　of　orange　juice；　toting　it　all　to　the　table。

She　ate　everything　on　her　plate；　matching　him　egg　for　egg；　toast　for

toast；　juice　for　juice。　Then　he　poured　her　a　second　cup　of　coffee；

filled　the　creamer　with　water　and　put　that　too　before　her。

Back　in　his　chair；　he　said；　〃I　spent　a　lot　of　time　last　night　thinking

about　this。　I　planned　to　do　some　fishing；　some　hiking；　some　reading；　and

a　lot　of　sleeping。　What　had　you　wanted　to　do？〃

She　tipped　up　her　chin。　〃Read。　Work。　Take　walks；　explore　the

neighborhood；　enjoy　the　solitude。〃

He　looked　out　the　window。　Bright　sun　lit　the　yard。　〃Look；　this　may　sound

crazy；　but　I　think　we　can　both　stay　here。　We　both　seem　to　want　quiet　and

solitude。　We　can　each　just　go　our　own　way。〃　He　looked　at　her。　〃I　know

this　area；　and；　trust　me；　there　wont　be　another　place　to　stay　on　such

short　notice。〃

She　tucked　a　handful　of　hair　behind　her　ear。　This　wasnt　quite　the

vacation　she　had　imagined；　but　he　had　a　point。　He　didnt　seem　willing　to

leave。　Barring　her　own　return　to　New　York；　there　wasnt　any　alternative。

Her　thumb　moved　on　the　ceramic　mug。　〃This　isnt　what　I　wanted。〃

〃Me；　neither。　But　its　the　only　fair　thing。　If　I　have　to　put　up　with

your　hot　showers；　you　can　put　up　with　my　black　coffee。〃

〃What　about　the　beds？　Every　move　you　make　rattles　on　the　ceiling。　I

wanted　to　sleep。〃

〃Yeah；　I　wanted　that；　too；　but　the　bed　up　there　is　too　damned　small　and

unfortable。　Why　dont　you　try　sleeping　there？〃

〃Because　youre　there。〃

〃Then　why　dont　I　sleep　downstairs？〃

〃Because　Im　there。〃

〃Damn　it；〃　he　sighed；　〃I　dont　want　to　share　your　bed。　Why　dont　we　just

switch？〃

She　wasnt　a　fool。　〃After　youve　told　me　how　small　and　unfortable　the

attic　one　is？　No　way！〃
