Taft
“I looked at the clock and it said ten. I had to think for a minute, ten o'clock at night. Outside I could hear the rain going same as ever.
"You up?" Ruth said.
There wasn't anyplace to go in a situation like this. Nothing to do but roll over and kiss her, and even knowing that I closed my eyes and lay there for another minute. Above the rain I could hear a light and steady sawing sound. Ruth was doing her nails.
Neither one of us had been drinking, but there was something distinctly drunk abou...t what had happened. We'd done it before talking, before coming inside, and once we got the door unlocked it all started up again.
"I know you're awake," Ruth said.
"I'm awake." The sawing stopped and I felt her coming towards me in the bed on her hands and knees. After that time Ruth had kissed me when she was fourteen I had never liked being alone with her. It made me nervous.
"I always knew my sister was a fool, but I never knew how much of a fool until now." She ran a rough nail up my side.
I asked her if she would get me a drink.MoreLess
