126 deadtime

."did you learn something new ?or is it.... just a feeling ?"
"it's jjust a feeling . but don't -"
"assuming you're right " - experience had taight me that conversations went better with merideth when i assumed she was right - " why would what happened back then have anything to do with lisa-"
she said ," eric and lisa were there . that's all i have . that , and a bad feeling . i don't it often , but when i do , i trust it . i got it about us at the end ."
okay ," i said . i would frgrant her the point . the set . even the match , if it meant we didn't have to go back and relive our end .she held her mobile aloft ." my car's on the other side of the block . it's penned in by traffic . walk with me ."
a traffic blockade could last a minute in midtown , or it could last twenty . we walked . i told her avbout my conversation wioth wallace .
she said ," you have to talk with carmel ." her voice composed . she was coming up with an action plan ." convince wallace . or ignore wallace . just talk with her . find out what happpened back then .find out  what's happening now . see what you can lean about that girl . see if she can help me find lisa ."
" i won't speak with her against wallace 's wishes , merideth ."
" then persuade him . you're good at it ."
compliment or accusation ? i wonderred ." i will do what i can ," i said .
did i mean it ? the truth was i wanted to get jonas and fly back to colorado . i was ready to pretend that i had a viable practice , a stable family , and my life hhad a satisfying , slight boring routine .
i want to see the dogs . i wanted to be in spanish hills at dusk to watch the sun shred into gold and red embers that tinted the high clouds above the divide.
"did you call sam purdy for me ?" she asked .
i wanted to sam , too . i missed him .
