PEOPLE

The town of Gemini was ten minutes’ drive from the house, and though O’Rourke had told me not to see anyone or do anything, I already knew I wasn’t going to listen to his advice. It was impossible. How could I hole up in the lake-house for days, without doing something, without moving? I might be feeling lighter today, but I still wanted to take my mind off the company.

I got some things at the market and the grocery store, and drove back. On my way, I called the sailing club from the hands-free headset in the car.

“Good morning,” I said, keeping my eyes on the narrow, winding road leading back up to the lakehouse. “This is Riley Anderson speaking.”

“Mr. Anderson,” said Lonnie, the yacht club attendant. “How can I help you?”

“I’m at my lakehouse and I wanted to know if I could take the boat out this morning, say at 11.”

“Why, of course, sir. I’ll haveThe Marieloaded at the dock for you. Would you like anything on board?”

“Champagne and sparkling water on ice, please.”

“Very good sir.”
