The bottom of the stairs was darker than the top and warmer, and it smelled like candles before I could see them — vanilla and smoke, so much of it that the smell got to me first, thick, sitting over everything else and covering it.
Then my eyes caught up. Candles on every flat surface, dozens of them, and the rec room I’d helped empty was gone — turned into somewhere else by the dark and the low music coming from a speaker I couldn’t find, something with no words in it, just enough to fill the quiet and round the edges off any sound a person might make. A bedsheet hung across the doorway to the laundry side, pinned on a line, a slit cut down the middle of it about waist high.
Claire was at the bottom. Of course she was — she’d sent me down, so she’d be the one to catch me. She took my wrist, not hard, just took it, the way you take a kid’s hand at a curb, and neither of us said a word, because that was the rule and because there wasn’t a word either of us could have said. Her rings were cold. She brought me to the near side of the sheet and set me on my knees on a cushion she’d put there herself, in front of the slit, and she pushed my hair back off my face once — soft, the way she used to try to when I still let her — and then she stepped back into the dark and left me there.
For a while nothing happened. I knelt there with my heart going so hard I could feel it up in my throat, breathing candle smoke, and I thought about standing up and walking back up the stairs, and I could have. That part was real. I could have gone at any second and no one would have known I’d come. I stayed on my knees.
Then the sheet moved, and he came through the slit.
I’d never seen one that wasn’t a diagram or a bad photo Priya sent to be gross. This was a foot from my face in candlelight, already hard, and the first thing my brain could do with it — the only thing — was that it was bigger than the idea I’d carried of what one was. Thick. Thicker than the circle of my own fingers, which I found out when I finally made myself reach up and put my hand around it and they didn’t close. That’s what I kept coming back to, kneeling there in the smoke. My fingers didn’t close around it.
Somewhere far back a name tried to come up and I let it be the one I’d picked on the stairs. Ravi. The reputation, the joke they’d made me blush over, the single one, warm, nothing to be scared of. If it was anybody it was Ravi. I didn’t let it be anybody else, and holding that in place was most of what I was doing with the part of me that wasn’t holding onto him.
I moved my hand on it, slow, and the skin slid and he got harder against my palm, and from the other side of the sheet a sound came, low, bitten off — a man catching himself against the rule. That sound did something to me I wasn’t ready for. I’d made a grown man make a noise he was trying not to make. Me. On my knees on a cushion in the dark. My mother had knelt somewhere just like this and done just this and been the bravest thing in the room, and for one second I felt what she must have felt, and it wasn’t being wanted, exactly. It was power. Chosen and nobody at the same time.
I leaned in close — closer than I had to, close enough to smell him. I hadn’t thought about that, that he’d have a smell. Warm, and clean, and a little like skin and salt, and something under it I couldn’t name, that my body seemed to know before I did, so that I breathed it in without deciding to.
This near, I could see all of him in the candlelight. The head was bare and smooth and darker than the rest, a thing I’d only ever seen in a diagram, flattened and unreal — and it wasn’t unreal now, it was an inch from my mouth and hot when I finally believed it. There was a bead of something clear standing at the very tip of him, welling up slow. I watched it catch the light before I knew what it was: that I’d done that. That his body was answering mine.
I touched my tongue to it first. Just the tip of my tongue to the tip of him, to know the taste before I knew anything else. Salt, and warm, and not bad — not what I’d braced for. He made the bitten-off sound again, sharper, and I felt it go straight down through me.
Then I opened my mouth and took the head of him in, because it was the next thing, and because I wanted the whole of it — everything she’d known. Even that much was almost more than I could make room for.
He was too big for me to do it well and I knew that inside a minute. My jaw ached. I could take the head of him and not much past it, and the first time I tried for more I gagged and had to pull off and breathe, smoke and salt, and nobody laughed and nothing bad happened and Claire didn’t come back out of the dark to stop me or fix me. There was no wrong down here. There was only doing it. I put my mouth back.
I couldn’t tell you how long. The music and the smoke and the ache and the heat of him and his breathing on the far side of the sheet getting rougher, losing a little more of the rule each time — it all ran together the way things do when there’s too much of them, and the part of me that names things and keeps score and worries went somewhere else and left me just kneeling there being a mouth and two hands in the dark, which was all anybody was down there, which was the whole point of it.
His breathing had been getting worse the whole time, rougher, losing a little more of the rule with each breath, and near the end he rapped the doorframe once, hard — a sound I didn’t understand and that wasn’t for me. Then he pulled back through the slit all at once, out of my mouth and out of my hands, and on his own side of the sheet he made a low sound he mostly swallowed, and his weight came up against the cloth for a second so it pushed toward me, and then went slack.
I knelt there with my hands empty and my jaw loose and my mouth tasting of somebody I’d never see, my heart still going. I wasn’t sure it was over. I thought it probably was. I didn’t really know — I’d never been on the near side of anything like it, and there was a wall of cloth between me and whatever it had actually been. The sheet hung there not even moving, like nothing had crossed it at all.
I went back up the stairs.
The party was still going in the front of the house, thinner now, a few stragglers, and I came up out of the dark and went to the kitchen sink and rinsed my mouth and drank two glasses of water with my hands shaking, and I kept waiting to feel bad and it didn’t come. I felt scraped out and lit up and closer to my mother than a hundred discs had gotten me — because I hadn’t watched her do a thing this time. I’d done the thing. The actual thing, in the actual dark, and a door a photograph keeps shut had come open a crack.
Dad found me at the sink.
“There you are.” He got himself a glass of water, stood next to me to drink it, close, the way we stand. He smelled like the party — beer, other people’s smoke — and under it the smell that’s just been the smell of my dad my whole life, and not one bit of it meant anything to me, because I’d built the blindness too well and I was standing all the way inside it. “You look wiped,” he said.
“Long night.”
“Yeah.” He finished his water. “Get some sleep, kid.” He kissed the top of my head on his way past — quick, automatic, one he’d deny doing — and went to find Claire.
I stayed at the sink a while. Then I went up and lay in the dark with my jaw still aching, and I didn’t think about the man behind the sheet, because I’d decided not to. I thought about going back. Whether they’d let me. How soon.
Dad left for a job Monday morning, and it was the two of us in the house again, and neither of us had said one word about Saturday.
We cleaned up the last of the reunion instead. There’s always a tail on a party that size — glasses turning up in strange places, a serving dish that isn’t ours, the folding chairs to fold — and Claire and I moved through the house doing it side by side and not talking, and it was the most time we’d spent that close in five years, and the quietest, and the quiet had a whole basement in it now.
I kept waiting for her to say something. She kept not saying it. She’d hand me a stack of plates, our hands near each other, and I’d think, now, she’s going to do it now — and she wouldn’t. After a while I knew she wasn’t going to hand me a sentence I’d have to answer, because a sentence you answer is a sentence that happened, and she was going to keep this the way we keep everything in this house: the toast, the word stepmom, the whole long list of things nobody’s ever once said out loud.
She got close once.
We were at the sink, her washing, me drying, down to the last of it, and she stopped with her hands in the water and didn’t turn around and said, “Wren,” in a voice I’d never heard out of her — not careful, for once, not managed, just my name — and then nothing, for long enough that I looked over. Her jaw was working like there was a whole sentence stuck behind it, a real one, the kind that would have made it real. Are you okay. You don’t have to. I’m sorry. Or something worse and truer under those. And I watched her decide not to let it out. I watched her swallow it whole.
And I was glad. God help me, I was glad — because if she’d said it, I’d have had to hear it, and I wasn’t going to be able to keep going if I heard it.
“It’s fine,” I said, answering what she hadn’t. “Claire. It’s fine.”
