Every
Sunday
morning
after
that,
Marcia
brought
Howard
home
for
a
glass
of
wine.
After
church,
Howard
stopped
his
car
in
the
street
outside
the
apartment
building
and
Marcia
said,
Sound
the
horn,
Howard.
Tell
Corinne
we're
here.
Then
she
can
get
the
wine
ready.
So
Howard
gave
three
little
toots
on
his
car
horn.
On
sunny
days,
Karin
always
came
to
the
wall
at
the
edge
of
the
roof
and
looked
over
to
wave
at
them.
Then
she
went
to
get
the
wine.
She
always
wore
her
bikini
or
a
very
short
skirt.
Marcia
never
wore
short
skirts
or
a
bikini.
My
legs
are
too
fat
for
bikinis,
she
told
Howard.
Your legs are very nice, he said shyly. One day in June, kareem asked, Howard, what time do you finish work? Howard about 06:00, Howard. About 06:00, he said. Could you bring me home after work?
Karen said. My shop's very near the hospital. You drive right past it and you only live three streets away from us. There's a very good bus, said Marcia quickly. It stops outside our building.
But
the
bus
is
so
slow,
Skarin
said.
Please,
Howard.
Howard
looked
from
one
sister
to
the
other.
Oh,
well,
er
yes,
all
right.
Then,
he
said.
Thank you, Corene said, and gave him a quick kiss. So every evening Howard drove Karen home. On the first Friday, they were an hour late. When they arrived, Marcia was at the door of the apartment building. What happened?
She asked. Why are you so late? There was an accident, Karin said. Three cars all across the road on that hill by the cinema. You know, we couldn't get past.
We couldn't go back. There were so many cars, nobody could move. Howard said nothing. It was a long, hot summer that year. Marcia went to church every Sunday morning and Kareem stayed at home with their father.
When it was sunny, and it often was, karen went up to her son bed on the roof. When Marcia went up to the roof garden, she always sat under the umbrella. But Corinne put on lots of suntan oil and sat in the sun in her bikini. The hot sun's not good for your body, Marcia said. Corinne laughed.
Howard likes my body. No, he doesn't, Marcia said angrily. Oh, he does, Corinne said. He's very shy with women, but he always looks at my body very carefully. He does it all the time.
Perhaps he wants me to take off. Stop it, Corinne, Marcia said. Don't say those things. Corinne laughed. What's the matter, big sister?
Are you afraid I'm going to take him from you? Marcia did not answer.
