Eye Contact
“On Sunday morning, just past ten, there is little activity on the streets, save for a few tardy souls who hurry up the stairs of a corner church, its old foundation crumbling from the toll of a hundred winters-turned-summer.
Last night was a late one for Manning and Neil. When their last guests said good-bye sometime after one, they stayed up and cleaned the loft, agreeing that they couldn’t face a mess in the morning. The whole experience left Neil exhausted, but Manning rose early today, refr...eshed by the few hours’ sleep he had, and he was outdoors for a run not long after sunrise. Preparing for the party had been stressful, and he was glad to have it over, secure in the knowledge that everyone (everyone, that is, with the apparent exception of Lucille Haring) had enjoyed the evening.
That run was several hours ago, when the morning air along the lakeshore was still cool—he actually felt goose bumps on his bare legs while working through his warm-up stretches. But now the heat has set in, and Manning’s lightweight chinos feel tight and clammy around his legs as he walks at a leisurely pace toward Clifford Nolan’s apartment building.MoreLess
