One Shots: Alicia — Part Seven
One
Tuesday nights Nate had dinner at his parents’. I knew the week’s shape by what came after — Wednesday he was back, jacket on the hook by the door that had worked itself into being his hook sometime in the second year, shoes off in the entryway without being asked. Not a thing anyone had decided. Just a thing that became true the way a lot of things had.
Mae heard his car before I did. She was at the door by the time he opened it.
“No,” she said, arms already raised.
“No what.”
“I do it.”
She held her arms up and looked at him with the particular gravity of a three-year-old making a point. He waited. She looked at her arms. She looked at him. She weighed something internal. She reconsidered.
He lifted her. She grabbed his collar in both fists and said into the curve of his shoulder: the blue dinosaur book.
He tilted his head toward her. “After dinner.”
She held her grip on his collar. She looked at the ceiling like she was consulting it. “Okay,” she said.
He carried her down the hall toward the kitchen. I followed. This was how Wednesday went.
The Sunday dinners at his parents’ had been going on for almost two years. His dad would already be crouching at Mae’s level at the door before we made it up the walk — his big hands out, waiting for her to decide. His mom would have the tongs out by the time I reached the kitchen. Things happened in the same order in the same kitchen every Sunday and I’d stopped needing to locate anything; my hands just went.
In the beginning she’d stood in the doorway. Not unfriendly, never that, but present in a specific way — watchful, a threshold she hadn’t crossed until everything was settled. She had the careful quality of a woman doing something difficult that she’d decided needed to be done right. There was a period where I felt watched, and she’d watched, and neither of us had said anything about it. She’d been handed a situation that required her to become something other than what she’d planned and she’d become it carefully.
Now she sat down before dinner was on the table. She asked about school. She remembered which teacher I’d mentioned two weeks ago and asked how it had resolved. One Sunday in March she’d poured Mae’s milk without being asked — just poured it, the right cup, the right amount, set it where Mae could reach — and Mae had looked at the cup and looked at Nate and picked it up and drank. His mom had gone back to her dinner and hadn’t made anything of it.
On the drive home that Sunday Mae was asleep in the back, tipped to one side in her seat, one arm out. Nate had the window cracked. The March air came through cold and he drove with one hand on the wheel and I watched the lights going past. The week had a shape to it — a particular shape, familiar now, the contours of a life that had settled in around us. You stopped feeling the contours after a while. They were just where you were.
Some nights after Mae went down he stayed.
His things had migrated without being moved there. A phone charger on my nightstand sometime in the fall, still there the next week, still there through December. A hoodie on the chair. His running shoes in the closet that he used on mornings he stayed, before I was up, the particular smell of his shampoo in the bathroom when I went in after him.
His toothbrush was in the second slot of the holder. He’d put it there in November. I hadn’t moved it.
The second slot had been empty since the August before last. Since Cole came home.
I noticed that one night standing at the sink. The two toothbrushes — mine and his — and the specific shape of what that was. I felt whatever I was going to feel about it. Then I went to bed.
On the mornings he stayed he was up before me. I’d wake to the house already different — his shoes not in the entryway because he’d put them on, the smell of coffee which I didn’t drink but which meant he’d made it, the specific quality of the bathroom when someone had already been in it. I’d hear him in the kitchen getting Mae’s cereal and her voice starting up, the two of them doing the thing they did in the morning which I couldn’t always hear clearly but didn’t need to. I’d lie in bed and listen and the house had a weight to it that wasn’t there on the mornings he wasn’t, and I’d stopped thinking of it as a thing separate from the way things were.
Two
The nights he stayed he reached for the nightstand before I did — knew where it was, same drawer, had been here often enough that the system was just part of the room. I was aware of the sound of the wrapper without thinking about it. That sound and then the pause. This was the rhythm.
He moved over me and his weight settled — specific and familiar the way a person’s body becomes when you’ve slept beside it long enough. The particular way he held himself so his weight didn’t fall wrong. He’d learned this over two years of attention — not through asking, not through being told, just through watching how my body responded and adjusting and remembering. He was better than he’d been at fifteen. Better every few months and I’d noticed it the way I noticed the toothbrush: without saying so.
His hands went where they went. He knew.
I looked up at him and he looked back with the same quality he always had — all of it accounted for, present. Nate looking at you was the same as Nate at four in the morning in the maternity ward: the same attention, the same willingness to be in whatever it was without needing it to go differently. I’d watched him hold Mae for the first time, his arms going from uncertain to certain the way his arms always eventually went. He looked at me sometimes the same way. Not always. But sometimes.
We found the rhythm the way we always found it. Him deliberate and unhurried, his breath steady at my ear. I felt him through all of it and let my breath come however it came and kept my eyes on his face.
Then the ceiling. The crack in it running toward the light fixture — still there, had been there since before August three years ago. I knew its path the way I knew the Sunday kitchen, the way I knew where the tongs were.
He moved in the steady way he had and my breath changed and he felt it and adjusted without making anything of the adjustment. Just — different, because I needed different, and he noticed.
He pressed into me deeper, the angle he’d worked out over time, and held it. I felt him through my whole lower body — the specific length of him, the specific pressure of it. My hips shifted. He moved with the shift.
I was on my back with one leg angled the way we’d learned worked, the way I’d shown him without words over enough time that he just did it now. He moved slowly. The ceiling above my bed, the dark of it, the edge of the window frame. I kept my eyes on his face and felt every increment of him and let my breath come however it came.
He found a depth that made a sound come out of me. He held it there — not trying to go further, just there — and my hands found his arms.
He moved through it. Slow, deliberate, the rhythm that was his — unhurried the way he was unhurried about everything, the way he’d waited for Mae to decide about being lifted, the way he’d waited at the door in the maternity ward. He was like this about everything. I’d stopped noticing it as a thing separate from him.
My breath changed. He felt it and his rhythm changed with it. His mouth was at my ear.
“Alicia,” he said, low. Not asking anything. Just saying it.
“Yeah,” I said. “I’m here.”
He finished slow, his forehead coming down against my shoulder. The weight of him settling. Then his hand went to my hip and rested — the flat of his palm, the same place it always went.
It always rested there.
The house quiet. Mae in her room with the small sounds she made in sleep that I’d learned to tell from sounds that needed me. His hand on my hip.
He slept first. I lay looking at the ceiling in the dark and didn’t sleep for a while. The crack ran toward the light fixture the way it always ran.
Cole had come up that winter — my mom in the next room on the phone, saying his name, saying when he’d be in. Nate was at the table with Mae, doing the spoon, the airplane, the thing that made her laugh. He didn’t look up. He didn’t ask who, or when, or anything at all.
That night his hand went where it went and he was quiet a long time and then he said my name, once, not asking anything.
I kept waiting for the question. It didn’t come. Two years, and it had never once come.
I filed that the way I filed the toothbrush. Without saying so.
Mae made a sound in her room and settled. I listened until the house was completely quiet.
Then I slept.
Three
Cole came in April. Spring break — he texted my mom the day before.
She was telling my dad at the kitchen table when I came through. I heard her say his name. I kept going and didn’t stop.
The next day he was there by two in the afternoon.
I heard his car — the engine, the particular pitch of it, the way it cut. The car door. Sounds I’d been hearing my whole life. I was at my desk with a textbook open and Mae was still down for her nap and I sat there and listened to him ring the bell and my dad’s voice below and the sounds of arrival I knew by heart. Coat. The door. His bag setting down.
Mae had just turned three the week before. There was still cake in the refrigerator — the corner piece with the extra frosting, the one nobody had wanted to cut into.
She was at my hip when we came downstairs, her hand in mine. Cole crouched for her the way everyone crouched — making himself small, getting level, waiting to be evaluated. She looked at him with the expression she had for people she saw at holidays. Cooperative. Polite. The face she gave my dad’s brother, my mom’s friends who came in summer. She let him hold her for a moment — went still in his arms, obliging — and then leaned back toward me.
He handed her back without making anything of it. Stood. Asked my dad something about a drive, a route, traffic on a stretch my dad had mentioned the last time Cole was home. My dad answered. Cole listened with the specific quality he had at tables and in doorways — full attention, real or performed very well, and either way the result was the same.
Dinner. Cole in the seat he’d sat in his whole life — the chair where his shoulders fit the room, where he’d eaten breakfast all through school, where he sat at every holiday like the house had been built around the fact of him in it. My mom made the good bread. My dad opened the wine he kept for occasions. Cole asked about my dad’s work project and remembered a detail from three months ago that my dad hadn’t expected him to remember. He asked my mom about her friend’s renovation. He smiled at the right things and answered with the right amount of detail — not too much, not too little — and the table moved around him the way it always did.
He looked at me the normal number of times. Asked how school was going. I said fine. He nodded and the table moved on.
Mae was beside me in her chair, managing her food with the focused intensity of someone for whom food was a serious undertaking. Her cup went over and came upright again. She made decisions about the green beans. She pointed at things.
Nate was not there. Weeknights were my family’s. Weekends alternated. This was a Tuesday.
I ate and passed things when they came to me and kept both hands in my lap when they weren’t. I didn’t look at Cole more than the table required.
Once he looked at me and I was already looking at him and I moved my eyes first. He was already saying something to my dad. He hadn’t paused. I watched Mae push a green bean across her tray and didn’t look at him again.
After dinner my parents put Mae to bed. Then my mom mentioned my grandmother’s — the standing Tuesday visit, the thing that had been fixed in the schedule for years. A few hours. She said it the way she said things that didn’t need saying — just the mention of it, nothing that required a response. Cole was at the table with his coffee. I cleared plates.
Then I went upstairs.
My room in the dark.
I lay on my bed and didn’t turn on the light and looked at where the ceiling would be. Below me, Cole moving through the house.
