Chapter 21: Rule One
Lydia rang my bell at ten the next morning, and I let her stand on the stoop for a moment.
I wanted to see what she would do with her hands.
She did nothing with them and held them at her sides.
She wore a gray coat and carried no purse, no case and no tray of coffee.
I opened the door.
"I've brought nothing," Lydia said.
"I noticed," I said.
"I thought about bringing something," Lydia said. "I put six things on the table and took all of them off again."
"Which was the hardest to take off?" I asked.
"The lighters," Lydia said.
She looked up at me, and her face had gone the color of paper.
"Avery," Lydia said. "Would you have dinner with me tonight?"
"Yes," I said.
"I haven't finished," Lydia said.
"I know," I said. "I said yes in the middle."
"I wanted to say a longer sentence," Lydia said.
"Say it anyway," I said.
"It's just that I like you," Lydia said.
Her shoulders came down.
"I liked you in September, and I like you now," Lydia told me.
