she laughed ." the addams family ? mel met them when she first moved in . two women , i guess . they're in the business . since i've been here ,they've beeen on some location shoot in , i don't know , the czech republic ? prague ? is that right ?i 've never seen those curtains open . ever . kanyn knows them best . she says they're all right . their place gives me the creeps ." she was twirling what wa left of the flower in her hand .
i said ," you picked the orange for the wall inside the front door , didn't you ?"
she looked at me sideways with softness in her eyes that i hadn't seen before ." how did you know that ?" she asked .
" same shade as the bird of paradise flowers . at least the ones that aren't .....dead ." i guestured toward her lap and the deconstructed bud ." i don't think it's a color most people would chosse ."
she smiled that lopiside smile again . we made eye contact for a second before she looked away " idon't think mel's working today . she could be out doing errands otr something . that's posssible . but i would guess she's at her .....uh . boyfriend's place . when she's not here or at the studio , that's usually wherre she is ."
"her boyfriend lives nearby ?"
"no ," she said ."tarzana ."
i knew tarzana was of dusky green hills climbling up from the side of the freeway . dense trees . as a child i'd always assumed that rich friends of edgar rice burroughs lived there . dense trees . as a child i'd always assumed that rich friends of edgar rice burroughs lived there . his sprawling ranch and estate had once taken up much of the land where the current twi=on sits . it had been named to honor the author's iconic work .
"it's in the valley ." she said .
the flavor of voice she chose made the sanfernando valley sopund like a forsakeen pace . across a great desert or a wide sea . the fiction was seductive . her her seasoning kicked me into china town thoughts . a desolate reservoir .
