reconnaissance from the sidewalk indicated that noRunway
Clackers were amid the crowds in the lobby; and I proceeded to
heave my weight against the revolving door。 Nothing had
changed in the five months since I’d last been there: I could
see Ahmed behind the register in the newsstand; and a huge;
glossy poster advertised thatChic would be hosting a party at
Lotus that weekend。 Although I technically should’ve signed
in; I instinctively walked directly toward the turnstiles。
Immediately; I heard a familiar voice call out;“I can’t
remember if I cried when I read about his widowed bride; but
something touched me deep inside; the day; the music died。 And
we were singing 。 。 。” “American Pie”!What a sweetie; I
thought。 This was the good…bye song that I’d never gotten to
sing。 I turned to see Eduardo; as large and sweaty as usual;
grinning。 But not at me。 In front of the turnstile closest to
him stood a toweringly skinny girl with jet black hair and
green eyes; wearing a dynamite pair of tight; pinstripe pants
and a navel…revealing tank top。 She also happened to be
balancing a small tray with three Starbucks Coffees; an
overflowing bag of newspapers and magazines; three hangers
with plete outfits dangling from each one; and a duffel
monogrammed with the initials “MP。” Her Cell Phone began to
ring just as I realized what was happening; and she looked so
panicked I thought she might cry on the spot。 But when her
repeated banging against the turnstile failed to elicit entry;
she sighed deeply and sang;“’Bye; ’bye; Miss American Pie;
drove my Chevy to the levee; but the levee was dry; and good
old boys were drinking whiskey and rye; singing this will be
the day that I die; this will be the day that I die 。 。 。”
When I looked back to Eduardo; he smiled quickly in my
direction and winked。 And then; while the pretty brunette girl
finished singing her verse; he buzzed me through like I was
someone who mattered。
