Silver Wedding
“She could read his face so well. This was the same look she saw on his face when older actors would come up and join them in the club and tell old tales about people long gone. Joe tried to be interested then too, it was a welcoming, courteous, earnest look. Hoping that it passed as genuine interest, hoping that the conversation wouldn't last too long.Tm sorry, I'm going on a bit,' she apologized. She pulled a funny face at him as she sat at the other end of the bed dressed only in one of his s...hirts, the Sunday papers and a breakfast tray between them.Joe smiled back, a real smile this time.'No, it's nice that you're so het up about it, it's good to care about families.'He meant it, she knew, in his heart he thought it was a Good Thing to care about families, like rescuing kittens from trees and beautiful sunsets and big collie dogs. In principle Joe was in favour of caring about families. But he didn't care at all about his own. He wouldn't have known how many years his parents were married.MoreLess
