" do you know what girl they 're talking about , merideth ? i don't know about any dead girl ."
stevie didn't know about jaana ," lisa never talked to you about the grand canyon ?" i said .
"the grand canyon ?" i said .
"the grand canyon ?" she repeated my words with hushed amazement , as though i were about to tell her details of her sister's secret sojourn in the foreign service in katmandu ." we aren't close stevie said . she delivered the concluding line as a seamless combination of accusation and appology .
i could see myself in a similar situation offering the same confusing contraction to someone else . stevie and i had some things in common . i made a mental note to tell my shrink what i'd just reallized .
"the girl lisa is talking about , her nam is jaana peet . i don't think anyone knows if she's dead ," i said ." jaana disappeared on a camping trip in the grand canyon a few years ago . lisa and eric were both there - in arizona - when it happened . that's how eric knows your sister . from that trip ."
stevie disgested the new information ," and now lisa thinks your finance ,,,,what , killed her ?"
eric? not a chance . it's that simple , i thought . not a chance . i know the man .
"i havren't seren the e-mail . i've seen the news reports from back then . they all describe her as ..... missing . there was never any evidence that she was dead . fear , sure . presumption , yes , but that was all ."
"there 's an attachment of some kind with lisa's e-mail . ican't open it on my la[ptop - I HAVE ALL THIS ANTI- VIRUS , ANTI-SPYWARE , ANTI-EVERYTHING PROTECTION ON IT . I CAN'T OPEN HALF THE STUFF THAT'S SENT TOME ANYMORE . I THINK IT'S A VIDEO FILE - ONLY BECAUSE MEDIA PLAYER ISTRYING TP OPEN IT . MY HUSBABD'S ASLEEP . HE'LL BE ABLE TO GET IT GOPING FOR ME IN THE MORNING ."
