Chapter 48: The Twelfth Sunday
The suitcase stood by the door of room 1412.
It was a plain brown one with a strap around the middle.
Somebody had stood it upright against the wall under the phone basket.
I saw it as soon as the elevator opened.
Angelo saw it a step behind me, and I felt his hand stiffen on the small of my back.
"It's Sunday," he said, very low. "It's six o'clock."
"I know what day it is."
"She said after the dinner."
"Then we eat the dinner," I said, "and then you ask."
I was seventeen weeks along, in the wrap dress I had worn to the vows.
I had slipped my shoes off in the elevator, because my feet had swollen in the heat.
My phone went into the basket.
Angelo's went in after it, and it stayed there.
Tomas and Dessa came in last, with their hands together, and Dessa carried a foil pan of the church ladies' pancit in both arms.
"They made it for the wedding," she said. "They sent it for the twelfth Sunday. They said they'd heard."
"Heard what?" said Angelo.
"Everything."
Lourdes stood at the head of the table in her black dress, with the lemon blossom still pinned in her twist.
