Charisse left me at my front door, and then sped off. I knew she was angry—she had maintained a stony silence during the drive to my house. But I didn't see that there was anything either one of us could do if her mother liked Joshua Martin. Maybe Charisse had noticed something strange about him—but I hadn't. And it seemed to me that if anyone could recognize trouble, I could. Just as I was getting out of the car I had asked Charisse to tell me if anything new developed—anything truly out of the ordinary. Charisse had not replied to that. I supposed I couldn't really blame her. So feeling out of sorts, I watched Charisse's tail lights disappear. Then I went into the house and on into the kitchen. A pot of water was boiling vigorously on the stove, and GM was sitting at the kitchen table reading a letter. The letter seemed to absorb her completely—so much so that I could tell she didn't know that I had come into the room.
