Chapter 39

When they sat at the diner with their cheeseburgers deluxe and milkshakes, Kerry took over the conversation and gave Doc the details of the story she had summarized on the station platform on Thanksgiving when they were waiting for Annie’s train. In the end, all Andi could say was, “I can’t believe the two of you were so fucking stubborn. You were, like, born to be together. But her leaving law school? Wow.” And that was all that was said about that and they spent an hour walking up and down the street, bumping against each other as they did, and stopping in stores, comparing notes of their similar upbringings—both having done the whole Westchester Catholic grammar/high school thing. Driving home, they were quieter than they had been heading north but they savored it too, as one or the other kept trying to find a decent radio station, much as Suzanne and Annie had done on their trip to New York.
