Intensely Alice
“I used that. Any moment I expected one of the roommates to come back and rattle the doorknob, but Max P. was quiet. Everyone, it seemed, had gone to class.
When I’d fixed my hair, I wiped up the stray strands I’d left in the sink and spread Patrick’s towel over the shower rod to dry. Then I took the sheets and pillow and blanket from off the couch, went in Patrick’s room, and made his bed up neatly. For a brief moment I thought of leaving the black lace pants I’d bought beneath his pillow, but ...then I checked myself. What we’d shared on the bench by Botany Pond was so personal, so intense, that it couldn’t be summed up in a pair of pants. “Alice,” he had murmured. And, “Patrick,” I’d replied.
By 11:10 my stuff was packed and I had close to an hour before Patrick was due back to see me off. I walked around campus, memorizing each street name, every turn, so that I could find my way back to Max P.
