The Last Boy And Girl in the World
“My mom and Mrs. Dorsey were at the kitchen table. They didn’t hear me come in and both of them spun toward me guiltily. Both had big glasses of wine.
They had been packing up Mrs. Dorsey’s kitchen, wrapping her glasses in newspaper. Not the mismatched stuff, like random pint glasses with different beer names on them, or the cups Morgan and I had collected from McDonald’s when we were kids. She was only taking the good stuff. But the job was only half finished.
Mom had on one of Mrs. Dorsey’s bl...ack salon capes, and her hair was slick to her scalp with dye the color of melted chocolate. Underneath, she was wearing a pair of my pajama pants. Mrs. Dorsey was in her nightgown and slippers, and she held a little cup of dye in her hand and a paintbrush in the other.
“Mom?”
“Surprise!” she said, tipping a full wineglass to her lips. Then she burst out laughing so hard she almost blew the wine straight out of the glass.
“What are you doing?”
“Getting a makeover. And don’t make that face.MoreLess
