Beth
said
,
not
looking
at
him
.
She
wished
he
would
just
come
over
and
touch
her
—
on
the
arm
maybe
,
or
put
his
hand
on
her
cheek
.
He
seemed
terribly
sophisticated
,
and
his
smile
was
easy
.
He
couldn
’
t
be
thinking
about
her
the
way
she
was
thinking
about
him
.
But
Jolene
had
said
,
“
They
all
think
about
it
,
honey
.
That
’
s
just
what
they
think
about
.
”
And
they
were
alone
in
his
room
,
with
the
king
-
sized
bed
.
In
Las
Vegas
.
When
he
set
the
clock
at
the
side
of
the
board
,
she
saw
they
both
had
the
same
amount
of
time
.
She
did
not
want
to
play
this
game
with
him
.
She
wanted
to
make
love
with
him
.
She
punched
the
button
on
her
side
,
and
his
clock
started
ticking
.
He
moved
pawn
to
king
four
and
pushed
his
button
.
She
held
her
breath
for
a
moment
and
began
to
play
chess
.

When
Beth
came
back
to
their
room
Mrs
.
Wheatley
was
sitting
in
bed
,
smoking
a
cigarette
and
looking
mournful
.
“
Where
’
ve
you
been
,
honey
?
”
she
said
.
Her
voice
was
quiet
and
had
some
of
the
strain
it
had
when
she
spoke
of
Mr
.
Wheatley
.
“
Playing
chess
,
”
Beth
said
.
“
Practicing
.
”
There
was
a
copy
of
Chess
Review
on
the
television
set
.
Beth
got
it
and
opened
it
to
the
masthead
page
.
His
name
wasn
’
t
among
the
editors
,
but
down
below
,
under
“
Correspondents
,
”
were
three
names
;
the
third
was
D
.
L
.
Townes
.
She
still
didn
’
t
know
his
first
name
.
After
a
moment
Mrs
.
Wheatley
said
,
“
Would
you
hand
me
a
can
of
beer
?
On
the
dresser
.
”
Beth
stood
up
.
Five
cans
of
Pabst
were
on
one
of
the
brown
trays
room
service
used
,
and
a
half
-
eaten
bag
of
potato
chips
.
“
Why
don
’
t
you
have
one
yourself
?
”
Mrs
.
Wheatley
said
.
Beth
picked
up
two
cans
;
they
felt
metallic
and
cold
.
“
Okay
.
”
She
handed
them
to
Mrs
.
Wheatley
and
got
herself
a
clean
glass
from
the
bathroom
.
