. twenty-one
i absorbed a good size fix of whatever it was that times square had to offer before i returned to the apartment , i had to convince myself to check in wit merideth and ask what she thought about the night's developments . i came within a whisker of deciding that i didn't really have to make the call .
"it could have been worse , i gess ," was merideth's appraisal of the errand to morningside heights . lisa wasn't dead in the bathtub . but it could've been better , too . i hate , hate , hate the fact that lisa might have a boyfriend .STD s , alan ? come on . i don't have enough to worry about ? and HIV ? i do not even want to hink about it ."
" you don't know she's seeing anyone ." i said ." she hasn;'t been out of touch for long , and it was just a thought i had when -"
" you were right . you were absolutely right . no one has been sleeping in that bed in her apartment . she has to be sleeping somewhere ."
i said ," it's not the sleeping part that worries you ."
"damn right , it isn't ."
i tried to point out the encouraging news ." stevie 's impressions of her sister suggest that lisa being out of touch for a few days might not b that big a deal . i found her to be believable . some sibling issuees , sure . but believeable , that's good , right ?"
" lisa being gone is a big deal for me ."
" iknow it is , meri .i'm just trying to allow some room for optimism.
