Description
"Can you light this, Jack?" Sally says, bending with a cigarette in her mouth and handing me a book of matches. "I can't make these things work." The matches are soaked. I don't know if she's looking for trouble or not. Both Joe and Elaine must be watching from the other couch as I hold my lighter to her cigarette and try not to look down her sweater. "Thanks, sweetie," she says over the roar of the Pistons game. As she walks away, Joe and Mark resume their discussion--small caps, large caps, this fund versus that fund, no-load. I don't know what any of it means. Joe and Sally live down the street from us, Mark and Beth farther away. They're nice enough, but most of the time they'll bore you to tears. We've only been in Michigan six months, and for some reason, they invite us to their barbecues and drinking parties. And for some reason, we attend. Everybody has kids, except us, and this sets us apart and makes us suspect: how lucky we are, yet how unfortunate. Selfish maybe.
