Show Woodworth/88 and Warty. fr\arty tells Rachael about Gary. Tells her more than she had planned to, actually. Tells her about how she was thinking about him, and how it made her feel that he called. Even tells her that he's married." "That's his wife's problem, not yours," Rachael counsels. "But now I know why you had to get an apartment right away. Kind of a love nest, huh?" "You have a one-track mind, you know that?" Marty protests. "Oh, hell, I think it will be good for you. The best way to spend the summer. And if he says that he and his wife have an 'understanding', who are you to contradict? Anyway, at least you won't have to tuu^ in parked cars." They walk together towards the subway. "I don't think I'm going to go," Marty says in front of the Park Street station. "I think I'll just stay with you, and maybe we can go get a drink, or something to eat." "You know you want to go. So go," Rachael says. "I bet that he doesn't even show up. And then I'm really going.to feel like a fool. Sitting in front of City Hall waiting for some guy that stood me up." "Look, that's where all the love-lorn hang out. And you're going to be late. Just go." So Marty gets on the subway, endures the stares of the mothers who sit solidly along the plastic benches and regard her with distrust; the lecherous looks of the g&ngling dark adolescents; swings and sways one stop to Government Center. When she comes out from the kiosk, she is suprised that she recognizes him from the back, surprised that he looks familiar. She can't think of how to catch his attention. Call him by name? It seems too familiar^ Come right up behind him, and tap him on |
