Vixen
“Kerry said. “So she won’t be forgotten.”
She announced this as we were finishing dinner that night, without having said anything along those lines previously. She’d been quiet up until then, the thoughtful kind of quiet. Cybil’s death had left her subdued but not withdrawn; she seemed to be coping with it well enough, her grief neither entirely locked up inside nor morbid in her outward expressions of it. She hadn’t thrown herself compulsively into her work at Bates and Carpenter or in her offi...ce here in the condo, or avoided normal contact with Emily and me, or suffered onsets of depression in which she suddenly burst into tears. And her appetite had been reasonably good. But it was obvious that Cybil remained uppermost in her thoughts and that she’d had this memorial idea, whatever it was, for some time and was only now ready to share it.
Emily and I exchanged glances; her expressive eyes told me she had no more idea than I did what Kerry meant. Wasn’t that corner of her office she’d devoted to Cybil’s possessions a kind of memorial?MoreLess
