.Things like& like&.He couldn t think of a damn thing.And that scared the shit out ofhim.When he turned away from b ngoai to escape the weight of herunaccustomed gaze, he saw his ragtag group of new friends clusteredin the hallway.Marianne was there in front with her ruined shoes,toes upturned, looking like a beat-up elf.Randy stood behind herwith precisely half his face covered in a blue-green bruise like somesort of comic book villain.Javier s expression was unreadable.Timwell, that weirdo was probably still rifling through Nelson s desk.Nelson went to the stack of plastic tubs that served as Tuyet swardrobe, and pulled out a pair of slip-on shoes, trendy little muleswith braided hemp around the soles and beaded tassels danglingoff the top.Bobby looked like he was about to challenge Nelson forgoing through his mother s things, but a stern look from b ngoaikept him quiet.Nelson handed the shoes to Marianne. Here, dothese fit? Marianne toed off her ruined pumps and tried them on. A littlesnug, but a lot more comfortable than walking around with my toespointed at the sky.My calves are killing me. Nelson cleaved through the group in the hallway and went backin his room.Half his desk was covered with a scale model of theTitanic made of recycled snips of plastic that he and Bobby had beenputting together.It didn t look much like the ocean liner, but it wassomething constructive to do.Epoxy? No, too hot, and it took toolong to set.There super-bond glue.He held up the tube. C mere,114 Randy.You can lose the gum. You re gonna glue my tooth back in? No, you don t want this stuff leaching into your bloodstream throughyour gums.I m gonna stick it to the tooth s next door neighbors.Itshould hold for a couple of days, as long as you take care not tochew on it.Then all your dentist needs to do is buff off the glue andwire your teeth together til it re-implants. Randy didn t slip into the point / counterpoint dynamic he and Nelsonenjoyed; he seemed to sense when it would be to his advantage tojust shut up because Nelson knew what he was doing.He sat at thedesk and allowed Nelson to probe around in his mouth again, whichfelt weird, because unlike the cadaver head, Randy was breathingon him. It ll be hot for a couple of minutes you ll feel it if yourteeth are sensitive but then the resin will cure and you ll be goodand glued. Nelson squeezed some glue onto a scrap of paper andscooped up a bead of it with the broad end of a toothpick, likehe d done so many times before on the crappy model of the Titanic. Here, hold up your lip for me, and don t let go.I d hate for you toglue your mouth shut. It felt good to have something purposeful to do.It almost made himstop thinking about the possibility of finding Tuyet on a metal slab.115 Chapter 13The smokestacks were very clever.Shampoo bottles and takeoutcoffee cup lids had been snipped apart and used in such a waythat some well-placed logos formed the black and gold layers ofthe stacks.But of course it was clever.Tim wouldn t have expectedanything different.Although the Vietnamese family really was a bit of a shock.Jealousyhad rocked Tim quietly, as the things that turned his life upsidedown typically did until he realized there weren t any pictures of aVietnamese woman in Nelson s room.A few casual shots of Nelsonand Bobby, yes.But that felt okay.Maybe a bit disappointing, in thathe d never imagined Nelson to be on the I-must-exercise-my-right-to-a-child bandwagon.At least the kid seemed nice enough.A bit older,well past that overly-precious stage.More like an actual person.Tim stared hard at the plastic ship model while Nelson glued Randy stooth in, and he did his best not to think that Nelson would make atotally awesome survivalist, with his quick wit, and his martial arts,and all his education but, of course, telling himself to stop thinkingabout something only made him think it more.Maybe it was for the best that Nelson already had a son.One of theparting comments Tim s ex had made was that maybe the whole gay thing wasn t worth it.Maybe he wanted to settle down andhave a family, before all the women who hadn t had their tubessnipped were taken.Where Phil was now was anybody s guess.Tim could have kept tabs116 on him, but had been very deliberate about letting him drop off theradar.Maybe he d found his future wife by now [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
