I knew she had something to say, and I waited patiently for her to say it. Still, she didn’t say a word until I pulled up in front of Harker’s condo all the way out in Edison Park. “He is gay sick, isn’t he?” she asked. The air in the car seemed to disappear. Harker wouldn’t like me talking about this with her, but it had taken him forty-some years to come out, so I didn’t know if he’d ever tell her the truth about his illness. It only seemed fair that she know for sure. “Yes, he has GRID.” “Did you give it to him?” “I don’t think I have it.” She narrowed her eyes at me. I didn’t think she believed me. “Is God’s punishment.” “No, it’s not.” I said strongly. “Did God punish the Jews with Hitler?” She shrugged like it was a strong possibility. I tried again. “When a newborn dies, is that God’s punishment?” “On the parents, yes.” I sighed heavily. There was no convincing her and I knew it. There was something I wanted from her though, and I decided to make sure I got it.
