Count On Me (Bayview Heights Trilogy) - Plot & Excerpts
Twilight peeked in through the kitchen window as Kurt faced his older brother and willed himself not to shrink from Mitch’s icy green gaze. They’d had several volatile discussions over the past eleven months, three days and several hours. Their disagreements had rivaled those they’d had when Mitch had first gotten back from Vietnam twenty-five years ago, when Kurt had tried to keep his brother off a downslide to nowhere.“A mistake. I see.” Mitch shook his head, stretched out his jean-clad legs and clasped his hands over the Bayview Heights Police Department T-shirt he wore. “You know it’s too late, don’t you?” he said pointedly.“You mean with Zoe.” Just saying her name brought on angina-like pain.“Of course I mean with Zoe.”“I know it is.” He stared at his brother. “How is she?” Over the course of the past months, at Zoe’s request, Mitch had refused to give Kurt any information about her. So Kurt had resorted to eavesdropping on her life—listening to Cassie talk on the phone to her from Boston where Zoe had gone for the holidays, observing her at Lansing gatherings, usually accompanied by Alex Ransom, overhearing Seth Taylor, the high-school principal, discuss her latest projects at school.“She just got back from Paris last night.”Ah, Paris.
