“Well, I'm glad you're getting along good.”
“I made it, but then I lost it. I thought we could use it to get started with, but then I lost it.
“You sure you think about me, Cora?”
“Sure I do.”
“You don't act like it.”
“Seems to me I'm acting all right.”
“Have you got a kiss for me?”
“We'll be having supper pretty soon. You better get ready.”
That's the way it went all evening. The Greek got out some of his sweet wine, and sang several songs, and we sat around, and so far as she was concerned, I might just as well have been just a guy that used to work there, only she couldn't quite remember his name. It was the worst flop of a homecoming you ever saw in your life.
When it came to go to bed, I let them go up, and then I went outside to try and figure out whether to stay there and see if I couldn't get going with her again, or stop it and try to forget her. I walked quite a way off, and I don't know how long it was, or how far away I was, but after a while I could hear a row going on in the place. I went back, and when I got close I could hear some of what they were saying. She was yelling like hell and saying I had to leave. He was mumbling something, probably that he wanted me to stay and go back to work. He was trying to shut her up, but I could tell she was yelling so I would hear it.
Then all of a sudden it stopped. I went into the kitchen, and stood there listening. But I couldn't hear anything, because I was all shook up, and all I could get was the sound of my own heart, going bump-bump, like that. I thought that was a funny way for my heart to sound, and then all of a sudden I knew there was two hearts in that kitchen, and that was why it sounded so funny.
