she's worried about jack . she's afraid everybody is going to blame her nomatter what she does now ." amy oursed her lips for a few seconds ." i don't know what i'm going to do with this information . i need to gewt some sleep before i decide . i guess i've just given you the same dilema . sorry ." she shrugged .
"the police need to know ," i said . i didn't need sleep to come to that conclusion .
"yeah ." she said ." i'll take kanyn down to talk to them ."
"jules , too ," i said ." i thhink there shopuld be a laywer present ."
amy took half a step back down the long driveway .her CV-V was parked twenty yards away , halfway to the street . directly across from a fat eucalyptus .stringgy bark was peeling from the trunk like old scabs / she stopped her retreat and set her feet ."i'm not glem close , alan ." she said ." it was only going to be sex ."
she made the carnal act sound as uncomplicated as a visit to starbucks .
one of us was misinformed . i was not all certain it was she .sex was among the things i'd expected to get less complicated as i aged .
ha .
i thought about her words for a moment , fought a temptation to get further detoured by the generational and gendewr irony of it all . i considered explaining that i wasn't micharel douglas and my decideion to hightail it from the bed wasn't about whether i coul;d get away with a tryst without entanglements or discovery . instead i said ," you're young . untached . for me it's not only about sex , as temptting as the sex might be . not anyoneb ."
she pulled her sunglasses down to the tip of her niose and nasrrowed her eyes in genuine , or mock , consternation . i found it disorienting that i didn't know which she intende3d .
she siad ,"despite what i said ayt dinner , i......i don't do this ..... often . when i do , i'm not used to ......." she shrugged , perhaps too modest to finish the sentence that had formed in her head .
"having men jump out of your bed ?" i guessed ." i bet you'renot . you're ....gorgeous , amy .
