The Bird Cage (11 page)
Authors: Kate Wilhelm
I don’t think she even saw me. I turn and retrace my steps under the roses and out to the car.
“Wasn’t she there?” Welch asks, looking up.
“I think she’s sleeping. I didn’t want to disturb her. I just wanted to thank for a favor she did me. It isn’t important.”
I knew there were rules, I tell myself, driving away. There are always rules.
