Chapter 19: Day One Again
The paper bag held a dozen eggs, a stick of butter, and a loaf of bread.
"I can make exactly one thing," Lucas said, on my mother's porch.
"Scrambled eggs.
"I learned it at twelve, because the nanny took Sundays off."
"You rode a bus."
"I sold the car.
"It was a lease on a car I never liked, and it turned out the penalty was smaller than the monthly payment."
He said it so seriously that I laughed.
I let him into the kitchen.
He stood in the middle of the linoleum with his sleeves pushed up.
He looked like a man who had been told the stove was dangerous.
"Where do you keep the pans?"
"Second drawer.
"The blue bowl is my mother's, so don't drop it."
"I wouldn't."
"You'll drop it."
He didn't.
He cracked eggs into the blue bowl with enormous care.
He got a piece of shell in the second one and fished it out with a spoon, swearing.
I leaned on the counter and watched his hands.
They had held a pen at the head of a boardroom.
Now they were cooking eggs in my mother's kitchen, and the sight went straight to a place I'd told myself was closed.
