Visitation Street
“He drags the cart into his hallway, steadying his load with his free arm. At the door to his apartment he searches for the key. Before the bolt slides back he knows something is up.
Gloria, Celia, Grandma Lucy, and Monique are gathered in the living room. The older women are lined up on the couch while Monique sits off to the side in the room’s single armchair.
Cree closes the door. The women remind him of the female hosts of one of those midday talk shows—young, fiery, and feisty alongside old..., wise, and maternal.
“What?” Cree says.
He knows them well enough to recognize that each of them is sequestered in her own style of anger. Monique is sulky and pissed. Her arms are crossed over her chest, her body angled away from the group. The lower half of her face is clenched, like she’s biting down hard on a word she doesn’t dare say. Celia is simmering with the animated anger she brings to her arguments with Ray. She is unable to sit still. Gloria’s face conveys disappointment and deep sadness.MoreLess
