A: Hey.
E: Hey.
A: So they were all out of the times, but I got you lots of copies of the Observer.
E: Thank you for helping my freshmen to remember that TMZ is not the only source for current events. If I think about this too much, it makes me want to run out in the middle of the street and scream.
A: Why, 'cause of what happened to Garrett?
E: No. That in the middle of all this, people are forgetting that a young girl was killed.
A: 1 I've actually been thinking about what happened the night Ali went missing. A lot. You and dad, you went to a barbecue, right? After you dropped me off at Spencer's.
E: Yeah, it was some stuffy Hollis thing at the chancellor's with cocktail wieners and sliders and fancy dipping sauces. You needed us that next morning, and we slept in, your father and I. 2
A: Mom, it's okay.
E: No, it's not. 3 We thought we had a night off from the kids.
A: A night off from the kids, huh? So you were out pretty late.
E: No. We left early. I snuck a bottle of wine home in my purse. 4 We sat on the porch. It was lovely, warm.
A: I remember. Till the storm rolled in.
E: 5 One too many glasses of red, and I can sleep through a stampede. And we slept through your first call that morning.Yeah, and we still don't know who did it or why.
I don't think we or I ever apologized for that.
But it's one of those moments as a parent you wish you could do over again.
I thought we'd save it, but your father opened it as soon as we got home.
I'm pretty sure we were dead to the world before that. |
