“It’s really going to happen, the lawyer warns her. He understands she’s been waiting a long time for this. Patty knows he’s getting at something but can’t read him over the phone. The whole thing only takes fifteen minutes, which Patty thinks is a joke, and then they won’t hand down their decision for a month or two. He says there’s no need for her to come to Albany. It seems wrong to Patty that she won’t be there. “What do you think you’re going to do there?” Tommy asks with a shrug, and he’s ...right. Her being at the trial didn’t help, and she was pregnant then. The morning the lawyer is supposed to argue their case, she goes to work like usual. It’s supposed to snow, so they bolt on the hoppers, load them up with cinders and hang around the garage, breaking down old road signs and listening to the weather bureau on the scanner, waiting for Russ to make the call. Patty doesn’t trust the radio. She keeps going to the sooty window behind the welding screens, as if Tommy might show up and surprise them all.MoreLessRead More Read Less
