“Hello.”
“Janice.” Her mother’s voice,
even and harsh. “I just got back from
shopping in Brewer and your father’s been trying to reach me all morning. He thinks Harry’s gone again. Is he?”
Janice closes her eyes and says, “He went to Allentown.”
“What would he do there?”
“He’s going to sell a car.”
“Don’t be silly, Janice. Are you
all right?”
“What do you mean?”
“Have you been drinking?”
“Drinking what?”
(from Rabbit, Run by John Updike)
