   Summary

   She had suggested a trip out over and over again, a few days out in Catalina or Joshua Tree or anywhere she could get them a bed. He gets restless living with her, the way young men do. She sees these things. She does. Joe had been quiet to her inquiries, given her polite, laconic answers, kept writing and writing in corners of her house, in the end had just looked at her and said, "I'll go if Max doesn't."

   Norma opens up her house in Malibu.
