. that she's not answering her phone ? merideth and eric have a lot at stake here ."
merideth tried some diplomacy . she said ," please forgive if i'm a little overbearing . i'm concerned about her , stevie . i am . this doesn't seem like lisa to me .
" and you know lisa that well ?" stevie said , a hlf smile on her face . i thought stevie recognized that her sarcastic side had a tendency to go steroidal , and for that moment , at least , she was trying to rein in its excesses .
"i thought i did ," merideth said .
"if you know her that well , then why the hell would you give her your baby ?" the unstated tag line was " you fool ,"
merideth's mouth fell open about half an inch .
stevie pulled her keys from her purse . she sid ."i am going back to tenafly . i have my own baby to worry about .and please don't bother my mother with any of this . she'll be of no help - lisa doesn't stay in touch with her - and she doesn't need you intrusion . i'll handle her ." she shook her head ." i can't believe i agreed to do this . god , i hope they've cleard that acident on the bridge ."
she turned to leave so quickly that her hair whipped around her face . she had to spit it out of her mouth .
i was about to take a seat on the sofa , in the midst of lisa's junk cyclone ." stevie ." i said ," is lisa neat ?"
she stopped , turned , and glared at me ." what ?" she said .
her question was tinged with confusion at why i'd asked , as though i'd interupted her retreat from the room because i desperately needed to know if her sister liked chocolate milk .
i opened my hands , encouaging her to take in the scene around me . she reacted by opening her eyes wide . they flasshed rage . if lighting had erupted from her nose at that moment , i wouldn't have been completed surprised .
i elaborated ." is your sister a neat person ? compulsive , that kind of neat ?"
