So Close To You (So Close To You - Trilogy) - Plot & Excerpts
Elizabeth Bentley holds out a blue and white china teapot, steam drifting into the air. “No, thank you.” Mrs. Bentley places a delicate teacup onto the saucer in her lap. We’re sitting in Dean’s living room, in my house, though it looks nothing like how I’m used to it. There’s a hunter-green patterned couch in the middle of the room and a tall standing radio below the window. The walls are a soft, seafoam green, with gold leaf accents framing the ceiling. Mary and I sit together on the couch clutching our teacups. It’s the morning after the fundraiser, after I ran away from Wes on the beach. You could change everything, he said. I look out the window, into the familiar backyard where the branches of a dogwood tree hang heavy with thin white flowers. Wes doesn’t know it, but his words have filled me with hope. I want to change everything. I want to fix my family. But first I have to find out how—and if—Dean is connected to the Montauk Project. Peter, my grandfather, sits on the floor in front of us playing war with small metal figurines.
