I stopped lying to myself somewhere in that creek.
I wasn't there for the fishing. That was Richard's idea. I was there because my husband sent me away, and for the first time in twenty-two years I had gone somewhere he could not follow, and I did not want to come back.
As Moses takes his slow, patient time with me on that boat, the whole dead history of my marriage comes flooding up: the last night Richard tried and couldn't, the first time I ever loved him back in 1993, all the years of faking it and waiting and going quiet on my own side of a cold king bed. Twenty-two years of a woman swallowing everything she needed, and a patient old river man who saw every bit of it and still did not say a word.
By the time he was done with just his hands and his mouth, I was coming apart on the deck of his boat, my phone dead, no signal, no reason left to pretend.
And then he stood up. And I understood the fishing trip was over.
