Rabbit At Rest
“My first night home?" He is making a complaint of it, scoring points, but he wishes she'd go and leave him alone with the television screen.
"We'll see," Janice says, rising. "I have an idea." Then she asks, "Aren't you proud of me?" She bends forward to press her hot busy face against his. "Managing everything the way I am?" "Yeah," he lies. He preferred her incompetent. She leaves with her jonquil-yellow new coat over her arm and he thinks she is gaining weight behind, she has that broad-beamed look women of the county wear when they come into their own.
* * * Harry watches what is left of Tom Brokaw and is settling into a seven-o'clock show on life in Antarctica when, of all people, the Harrisons come visiting.

She smiles regretfully; her eyes apologize for the shape she's in, for Ronnie's being with h...er, for her being unable to stay away.MoreLess
