“I’ve seen two of them in the garage, each labeled Kronick, with their address, phone and social security numbers engraved across the bar.“Certainly,” Bitsy says, “as long as you wear a helmet.”“A helmet?” I ask.“Yes. You can borrow mine.” She finishes her third cup of coffee and wipes her mouth with a napkin.“But I ride all the time in Atlantic City,” I tell her, “and I never wear a helmet.”“That’s the rule,” Bitsy says as she stands up and stacks our plates.“Really?” I say. “You’re serious?” Of course I know that she is serious. But I have this idea that by questioning her I can make her change her mind.“You bet I’m serious,” she says.So much for my idea.“Okay. I’ll wear the helmet.” I will do anything to have some time to myself. Some time alone, to think.“We’ll be leaving for Cochiti Lake at ten-thirty. Just be sure you’re back by then.”Cochiti Lake is number one on tomorrow’s agenda. Walter has taken the week off so that he can show us the sights.
