Married To My Ex-Husband's Uncle Chapter 148: Fear Wearing A Better Coat
Xena."You're back.""You're still up."Dante was at the kitchen table in the house on Wells — my flat, not his, because I'd driven there without deciding to and only noticed when I was already parking. He had his coat still on. There was a mug in front of him he hadn't touched."How did it go with Osei," I got out, before I'd even taken my coat off."Sit down first.""Dante.""I'm not being dramatic. You've been driving for an hour and you look like you haven't eaten." He got up and put the kettle on without asking, a thing he does now, and which I have stopped minding. "Sit down, and then I'll tell you, and then you can be angry at whichever part of it you like."I sat down."She took it," Dante said, relief and dread tangled up in the same breath. "Nine fifteen this morning. I sat in the corridor from nine, like I said I would. Her clerk let me in at quarter past. I put the notebook on her desk and told her what it was before she'd opened it.""And?""She read the Eleanor pages fir

Xena."Time," the officer called, from the wall."Herald—""You've got ninety seconds." He leaned in over the table, and for once he wasn't calm about it, and that frightened me more than anything he'd said all afternoon. "Listen to me. Don't go to Osei with this. Not yet.""Why not?""Because I don't know what he told her already, and if you walk in asking about March visits before she's raised it, you'll look like you knew something and sat on it." His hands had come off the table. "You're named in a federal matter, Xena. Everything you do from today gets read by somebody looking for a reason.""Then tell me what he said.""Wrap it up, Cross." The officer was already moving."He asked me who I'd protect," Herald said, fast, low, the words falling over each other for the first time since I'd sat down. "First visit, he asked me who I'd protect if it came to it. Second visit, he told me why he was asking.""Herald—""Sunday. Same time. Bring nothing." A guard had a hand near his shoulde

Xena."He's coming out. I want you to know he nearly didn't."The officer on the desk said it while she was checking my ID against a screen, without looking up, in the tone of a woman doing me a kindness she'd deny later."He declined the mail item." I heard how thin it came out."He declined the mail item Friday. He put you on the visit sheet Monday." She slid my licence back. "Locker four. No paper, no pens, nothing in your hands."The room at Joliet has eleven tables bolted to the floor and a vending machine that only takes coins from a machine that only takes cash. I got there first. I sat with my hands flat on the table because there was nowhere else to put them.Herald came in with a man's walk and a boy's shoulders.They'd cut his hair since Thursday. He's twenty-four and he looked about nineteen. He sat down across from me. For a second neither of us managed a word."You look tired." Concern got into his voice before he could stop it."You declined my photograph.""Yes.""Hera

Xena.I got the packing tape off the top of the crate and started pulling it back in one long strip."Xena.""You've got a courier coming Thursday." The tape came away with a noise that filled the whole hall. "You've packed the wrong things. That's the kitchen crate and you've put books in it.""Leave it.""You've labelled it in pencil.""Leave it, Xena."I stopped with about four feet of tape hanging off my hand.It was ten past eleven. Adrian had gone forty minutes ago with two keys in his coat pocket and a registration slip folded into his wallet. He'd refused a lift. I'd stood at the window like an idiot watching him get to the corner."Then say something." Anger came up my throat with nowhere useful to go."I don't have anything.""You had eleven hundred words for him.""That was an account." Dante was still in the study doorway. He hadn't sat down since eight. "I've been rehearsing that one for seventeen years. Ask me something I haven't rehearsed and you'll get what you're gett

Xena."No.""Read it.""No." Dante put the notebook down on the desk and took two steps back from it. "You read it.""You've read the other two.""I know what I've done."Adrian didn't touch it."That's the first thing you've said all night that came out crooked," Adrian noted, and he still didn't move toward the desk.Dante went and stood at the window with his back to the room. The rain had stopped an hour ago. There was nothing out there to look at except a wet street and a car with its lights off."Take the book, Adrian.""Why won't you read it?""Because I've had seventeen years of hearing it in my own voice."That's not the reason.I don't know how I knew. I'd been in that house nine times and I'd learned exactly one thing about the man, which is that when he stops being able to say a sentence properly he is at the part he actually cares about.Adrian picked up the notebook.He found the page himself. He had to go back twice, because the third entry is short, and short entries a

Xena."Don't get up. I've got a key."Adrian said it into the hall in Evanston at twenty past eight at night, and he said it in a voice I'd never heard him use, and he came past me without taking his coat off.Dante was standing in the study doorway.The notebook was on the desk behind him. He'd left it out. That was the first thing I saw, and it stopped me in the hall, because a man who leaves it out has spent the last four hours deciding something."Adrian—""2008 to 2010." Adrian stopped in the middle of the rug. "That's all I want. You can keep the rest. Burn it, give it to Osei, put it in the sea. I want three years.""Sit down.""I've had two people tell me to sit down today." His hands were shaking. He didn't hide them, which was new. "I'd like somebody to say a true sentence to me standing up."Dante didn't move out of the doorway."Ask me the question you actually came with," he said."Did my mother talk to you."The house made the sound old houses make when the heating's bee

Xena."It's me Xena."My eyes went wide.“ Dad?”There was silence on the other end. For a brief second, no one spoke, not a single word was said.I stood in Dante's study. We hadn't contacted each other since Adrian's promotion ceremony.“Darling I—” he pauses then heaves a sigh. “How are you doin

Xena.The ceiling in Dante's room was different from the one in the guest room.I noticed that first, which probably said something about the state of my brain. I stared at it and waited for regret to arrive.It didn't.What arrived instead was a very thorough physical awareness of every decision

Xena. Was Hannah drunk?I stood there waiting for the punchline. April Fools was months away but maybe someone had lost track of the calendar. Maybe this was some elaborate Yale family bit that I hadn't been briefed on. Maybe —Adrian crossed the room to stand beside her."It's true." He turned to

Xena.I gasped for breath, my legs still aching from the last round. Yet Dante stood over me like this was nothing but probably another of his one night stands.The bed was wet beneath me, wet from my juices. I stared at the ceiling for a while, the memories of his cock inside of me played over an
