Chapter 19: Trista
I did not move from the driveway.
The keys were in my fist, and I stood by my car with the lemon on the windshield.
Trista cried until she ran out, and then she wiped her face with the back of her wrist.
"Mom locked me out of the townhouse," she said. "She said I made her look stupid."
"Did you?"
"I think I made us both look stupid."
I stayed where I was.
She hugged the paper bag to her stomach.
"I'm not here to ask you for the house," she said. "I know it's yours. I know you've got the page."
"Why are you here?"
"Because it's one in the morning and you're the only person I know who doesn't lie to me."
That one landed.
I came up the walk slowly and stopped two steps below her.
"How long?" I said.
She understood at once.
"The engagement party," she said. "In June. He drove me home."
"June."
"I'm sorry."
"You're sorry," I said. "You picked out your own bridesmaid dress for my wedding, and you were already pregnant by the next month."
