I wake up when I hear the phone ring. Virgil’s feet are in my face. The sun is coming through the window. I look up and see Virgil sound asleep, lying crosswise from me, buried in his hair. This might be a romantic moment if I wasn’t about to be flayed alive by my father. I can’t believe I just fell asleep and then snoozed until morning. I hear another ring. Dead. I am completely dead.

I bolt to the kitchen. I hear Eloise say, “Thank you. He’s doing fine. How’s your ear?”

Eloise looks up at me and shoos me with her hand. “She’s on her way. I asked her to watch Virgil and Jean while I went to the police station. I’m sorry about that.”

Eloise’s face narrows as she listens to the receiver. Her mouth shrinks to a bitter pucker. Finally she says, “I hated to wake her.”

After another ugly pause she says, “Oh, please. You knew exactly where she was.”

Eloise waves me toward the door again. I step slowly, unable to turn away from the approaching disaster. Wait for it.

Eloise shouts, “So what if they did sleep in the same room. I gave him enough valium to tranquilize a polar bear.”

Eloise is many things but diplomatic isn’t one of them.

As I step through the screen door I hear Eloise say, “Hope you get feeling better, Samuel. You might try some valium yourself. And maybe your doctor could prescribe something for being a pain in the ass.”
