i was too tired to choose the right words . i said ," you've known..... for a while ?"
she grinned ."yes . a few years ."
"okay ," i said as i contimnued to gather my wits . "so jules is your ....girlfriend ?"
mel nodded .
"this is her place ?"
"with hrer brothers . jules lives in westwood . the pwart about her brothers and whattop do with the house , that's all true ."
i considered saying something quasi-therapeutic and profound , or at least profound sounding . but i recalled how forward to meeting jules . can we go in now ?"
she shook her head . she wasn't done with her revelations . mel said ," my dad doesn't like gay ....people ."
ah, so that 's why i'm here . i thought . because walllaqce doesn't like gay people .
the way mel; said that her father didn't like people carried all the presumed disappointment - of children about themselves , and of sons and daughters abouy their parents - that children are able to stuff into simple sounding but exposive laden parental appraisas like ." my parents really wanted a son ." or" my dad wanted meto play football ."
i said ,"i'm sorryto hear that , mel ." i hadn't been aware of wallace's bias against homosexuals . i got lost fotr a moment wondering how a therapist in boulder could be as successful as wallace with that particiular prejudice . i also wondered whether everyone else in town knew , was i the last ?
is that why wall;ace didn't come to adrienne's service ?
"does he know you're gay ?" i asked .
:i don't think so . he'd say something , you know my dad ."
the crosswopr finally began to take form -n 16 down was a seven letter word for "uncomfortable ." awkward ." that must make thingshard for you . with your family ."
she grinned ."yes . a few years ."
