Lacey went home with Jack Castle on her eighteenth birthday. It was August. She hadn't seen him for weeks, and then the trees were full of blue-black beetles, and the heat fanned like oil off the car bumpers, and Jack drove his Ford truck the color of mud into the Mobil station lot where Lacey sat waiting with her mother for service. They had been to lunch, and then shopping, a rare outing. An attendant with a surly look pumped gas. In the back of his truck Jack had two big dogs shorn almost bald, their long, pink tongues hanging out, breathless from the heat and too many bugs. Lacey watched him pull in and drive around to the back, and she left her mother with an excuse of using the ladies room. Mary Gail raised her eyebrows, but said nothing, her DTs so bad her cigarette shook ash all over the upholstery. Lacey met him coming out of the men's room wiping his hands on a gray paper towel. It was the same as the first time she'd seen him. A smarting feeling, like being slapped, and then a queasy happiness afterwards. She blocked his path. Jack's eyes narrowed in on her Lilly Pulitzer dress.
