    Summary

    "They'd heard I liked baseball and, I don't know, somehow forgot that Brooklyn has never rooted for the Yankees and will never root for the Yankees, no matter if the Dodgers leave us to play on the Moon. But I didn't want to make a scene."

    Summary

    His mother blinked slowly. "I never should have answered the phone."

    That didn't make sense, because their phone had been ringing off the hook all week and his mother was always the one to answer.

    "I knew it was going to be bad," she said softly, slowly, almost like she was talking in her sleep. "I had the most horrible feeling in my gut when the phone rang. I've felt it before—I knew what it was. I should've just let the answering machine take it. I never should have picked up."

    More than two decades later, when Buck's phone starts vibrating as he's ruining the lamination of another batch of would-be croissants, he understands what his mother had meant that day.

    Every atom in his body is straining toward the phone, but he can't unlock his hands from the death grip they have on the rolling pin in order to reach for it.

    Incoming call: T. Kinard
