Chapter 66: Thursday

The restaurant on Taylor Street had never been so full on a Thursday.

The waiters had pushed the middle tables together into one long one, down the center of the front dining room.

Eight chairs. One at the head.

The baker and her sister-in-law from Berwyn, who weren't speaking. The barber and his wife.

The bride and her husband, holding hands under the cloth.

The pants lady and her granddaughter. The lady in the church hat, who'd ordered the veal anyway and been refused.

The front windows were open onto the street.

The old men from the bench outside had turned their chairs to face the glass.

Maddie was at home with the bride's mother, who had raised six and said one more was a vacation.

At the table by the front window sat my family.

Pasquale, in his Sunday cardigan. Dad, with his cane across his knees.

Rita, in the green crepe she'd worn to my wedding.

And her brother, in the navy suit, his forearm canes leaned against the window frame.

I sat down in the chair at the head of the long table.
