' The scent of her had been everywhere her soft hair cascading gently to her shoulders the big brown eyes long lashes her soft white skin and her pouting lips vividly but carefully painted to entice the likes of me I Tfidgeted and atpped again at the malted He stood watching me lor a long minute then ha said: “She waa In last night” 'ha said “As a matter of fact we were talking about you Mr Anderson” He picked up my empty glass and forced it down over the automatic washer I nodded too busy thinking about what he said to even reply properly So they had been talking about me? What did that mean? I was certain neither of them knew the real story behind my sudden departure Fd had to go in a burry No one knew except John and Peggy As far as the others were concerned I was Just a guy who had taken his firm for a few hundred dollars They probably figured I’d been lucky to escape prison That I had been covering for John was nobody’s business I didn’t approve what Johnny bad done but Peggy was my sister With three kids and another on the way Johnny knew his salary wouldn't be able to stand the stretch Instead of laying his problems before his boss and asking for a raise he lost his head He did the foolish thing Others had done It before I got him out of the mess but no one knew this but the three of us So I figured any conversation about me wouldn’t b$ complimentunless they'd discovered ary that I wasn’t Just a cheap thief I wondered She lived at the tame place Armand was friendly toward me What did it all add up to? But did they know these things about Peggy and John? Did they know that the money had been repaid Or were they like the others —did they suspect that I was Just a bum? I guess I might Just as well forget about the whole thing and go soma place to start all over again I took one last look toward her apartment picked up my coat and asked the girl for my check Armand had stepped to one of the booths to greet soma folks who had coma In Just as the rain started I waited for him at the cashier's booth at the end of the counter I was disgusted and showed it I guess Finally Armand shuffled over to the cash register and took the check the girl had given mi “That’s all right Mr Anderson” ha said “This is my treat Good luck” I muttered my thanka and went outside to stand under the awning wondering where to go in the gloomy downpour Then It sudArmand denly dfcwned on mi had treated! His seal of approvall I was still Mr Big across the street —that’s what ha was trying to tell me Armand had let me know that In his quaint unobtrusive way I looked again at the apartment windows There was a light there now She waa home I didn’t even look up and down the street but dashed out into the rain This was ltl Tha thing I'd waited a million minutes for This made up for every lonely night every remark handed out by those who didn’t know 1 was going home I could say all tha things that had been bottled up Inside ma for so long I could tell her now how much I loved her how I had longed for her I glanced back as I entered the building Armand was peering out the door his round face pressed against tha glass a wide smile spread across his countenance as I waved merrily before climbing tha stairs to the third floor front PATTERNS awered FICTION cowa? i tJ —A GUNNISON UTAH He always sat In this spot or perched on a stool In the cashier’s He glanced up and smiled cage like a fat little buddha coma to life He didn’t speak I thought: “He doesn’t remember mo But then 1 am the only customer in the place he must have smiled at mo He remembers me all right” I thought “but doubtless doesn’t relish the memory" I turned away- - I couldn’t help but tare out the window Her apartment was Just across the street third floor front The windows overlooking the street were dark Being so near her set the butterflies hopping In tho pit of my stomach 1 returned to tho fountain and sipped at tho malted Seven years How do people mark the passage of seven years?
