We got a little stupid, the way she asked.
The first night was a motel off I-40 that advertised FREE HBO and a POOL like those were the same size of miracle. The soda machine ate two of Dad’s ones and gave us nothing. The pool was the size of a lid, lit the color of a bruise. Allie swam in her underwear after dark because the lot was empty and because she wanted proof we were allowed to be ridiculous in a state that had not buried anyone we loved.
I sat on a plastic chair with Hale’s last email open and did not read it.
“Come in.”
“Someone has to keep the towels from blowing into Arizona.”
She floated on her back. The security light made a coin of her throat. “You’re allowed too, Sarah.”
I went in. The water was warmer than the night and smelled like too much chlorine trying to hide a week of other people’s feet. She hooked her ankles behind my knees and we stood there like a couple on a brochure nobody would print. I kissed her once under that light, short enough that it could still have been grief if a trucker had walked out with ice.
In the room she wanted more than a kiss that could pass. I gave her my mouth and my hands and not the rest. House first had started before there was a house. I would not spend the last of California on a bedspread mapped with other people’s weekends. She came quiet, face in the cheap pillow, fingers in my hair like she was trying to keep me from leaving the state without her. After, she said, “You’re rationing me across state lines.”
“I’m getting us there.”
She smiled into my shoulder, annoyed and fond. “Mommy.”
“Don’t.”
“Judith isn’t here. I can say it.”
I let her. The air conditioner rattled like it had an opinion. Somewhere on the interstate a jake brake went off and I thought, stupidly, of Dad hating that sound on the grape-truck corridor. Then I thought of nothing. Allie slept with her knee hooked over mine. I watched the red glow of the smoke detector and counted the hours until checkout like they were a kind of prayer I still knew how to do.
Morning was coffee that tasted like the pot and a front desk clerk who called us you girls and asked if we wanted a late out. We did not. Allie put her feet on the dash before we cleared the lot, took them down because Dad would have hated it, put them up again because Dad was not in the car. The peach-colored light on the hood looked like California pretending.
Texas was long in the way grief is long: you keep thinking the next exit will change the weather. We ate in a diner where the waitress had a butterfly on her wrist and did not ask why two women were splitting pancakes and looking at the same phone. Allie stole whipped cream with her finger and I said her name the way I used to say it when she was seven and about to ruin a shirt. She grinned. For a minute we were only that.
The storm found us west of Amarillo. Rain like someone emptying a bucket on the roof. Wipers on high and still losing. I pulled under a gas station awning and we sat with the engine ticking and the radio on a station that thought God had a traffic report. Allie reached over and turned it down.
“You can say you’re scared of the money,” she said.
“I’m not.”
“You are. Hale’s voice does that thing. Letters testamentary. Like the dead need stationery.”
I watched a man in a slicker fight a trash can lid. “Dad bought stocks he didn’t talk about. We’re consistent. I can write a check for a house I’ve never smelled. I just keep waiting for someone to tell me I forged the grief.”
Allie turned my wrist and looked at the place her fingers always hooked. “Nobody’s going to. Judith almost did and then she didn’t. That’s the closest we get to a blessing.”
We drove when the rain thinned to a sulk. New Mexico was a night we slept in our clothes because the day had been nothing but miles and a sun that sat on the hood like a hand. I woke at three to Allie standing at the window in my Georgetown shirt, the one from the box she still had not asked about. I had not offered. The box was in the trunk under the quilt and the recipe tin. Inside it: the harness, a letter I had started in June and not sent, the shirt she was wearing now, a metro card that still had two rides. The car already knew. The highway did not need the inventory.
“Can’t sleep?”
“I keep thinking the primary bedroom will smell like her lotion anyway. Like we mailed it.”
“It won’t.”
“You don’t know.”
“I know lotion doesn’t survive three thousand miles in a photo.” I sat up. The room was the color of bad ice. “Come back.”
She came back. She did not ask about the box. I put my mouth on her shoulder through the shirt and stopped there. Rationing, she would have said. Getting us there, I did not say out loud.
Arkansas was a rest stop with a vending machine that actually worked and a magnet shaped like a peach that Allie stuck on the dash under Dad’s old insurance card. She named the magnet Gerald for no reason I could follow and then forgot she had done it. I did not forget. I wanted every stupid small thing she did to stick to the windshield so the car would remember we had been alive on the way to being alive.
We called Judith from a parking lot in Alabama that sold fireworks and boiled peanuts. She had potting soil under her nails. I could hear it.
“Rosemary’s being dramatic,” she said. “Two showings. I told them the girls went east for school. I did not tell them which bed you took.”
Allie, on speaker, too bright: “Guest room’s yours. We even remembered you snore.”
“Buy a decent mattress or I’ll sleep in the car. I’m too old for heroic spines. Drive careful. Your mother hated that corridor in the rain.”
