…
well I hope there's someone out there
who can bring me back to you
…
1.
…
She’s silent.
Then she smiles, slightly. (They can’t know for sure, right?)
“Have you found the body?”
…
She comes back to Neptune in the morning. The bus is dirty and stuffy; she wears black jacket; the sun in California is still bright, and all she feels now is heat.
(She never thought her return would be like that.)
…
Alicia squeezes her palm.
“He was a hero, your dad.”
She has dark circles under her eyes too and her lips are tumescent. Her skin looks too pale and the contrast between it and her black clothes is far too obvious.
Wallace makes coffee in the kitchen.
(And she’s not sure she can meet with someone else besides Wallace and Alicia, because she just can’t stand it.)
…
Her dreams are restless; she keeps thinking that she’ll wake up, open the door, and there will be Logan in her kitchen, he’ll be cooking pancakes, and she’ll cry, but then - then - daddy will come.
When she wakes up in the middle of the night, she goes to the kitchen and there’s no one besides Alicia; they sits in the dark, silently, until the sun rises.
…
Piz calls her in the morning; she doesn’t know for sure who told him.
“Do you want me to come?” He asks.
She shrugs her shoulders; she couldn’t care less.
…
Her mother sent her a postcard; it comes the day before funeral. (That’s terrible; I can not come; I’m sorry, Veronica.)
She remembers how desperately she tried to find mum, to bring her back home. (And there she is now, somewhere, but she’s alive.)
The phone rings again, and Wallace answers it. (No, she can’t talk right now.) She wonders who is it, but she doesn’t ask.
…
She keeps blaming herself for leaving, but it can’t change anything.
Sheriff Vinnie Van Lowe states: “the death of Keith Mars will not be forgotten.”
…
She appears on his threshold the day after funeral; she still wears sunglasses and black clothes.
“You should really think about buying your own flat, Logan,” she says, and there’s mocking in her voice as always, but now that mock is mean-spirited.
He steps back and lets her come inside.
She sits on the couch and puts her legs on the table.
He doesn’t ask why she came. He stands there, leaning on the door, and waits until she tells him.
(She keeps silent.)
…
She gives her flat to Mac; she can’t live there anymore, but she can’t sell it either.
She thinks about New York and Washington a lot, and she writes a petition to transfer from Hearst College.
…
The day before she leaves she comes to Logan to say her goodbyes.
(The morning after she speedily dresses and leaves.)
…
2.
…
She runs in a café before classes, orders one coffee to go and turns around.
He sits at the table near the window, alone; she sits next to him and warms her palms with a plastic cup of coffee.
“What are you doing here?” She skips her usual sarcasm and just asks the question.
He shrugs his shoulders.
“I’ve decided to buy my own flat. You were right.”
“Here?”
“Why not?”
(She doesn’t ask if he expects something from her, she doesn’t care.)
…
3.
…
They came back to Neptune.
…
She stands beside her dad’s grave, and Logan squeezes her palm; she smiles slightly, and she doesn’t feel like an orphan anymore.
…
end.
