You?” “Roscoe Village, on Hoyne. But I have a roommate.” “If you come up to my place you have to close your eyes and count to one thousand. Perhaps you have a very uninquisitive deaf roommate?” “No such luck. I never bring anyone over; Charisse would pounce 1 on you and stick bamboo slivers 2 under your fingernails until you told all.” “I long to be tortured by someone named Charisse, but I can see that you do not share my taste. Come up to my parlor 3.” We walk north along Clark. I veer 4 into Clark Street Liquors for a bottle of wine. Back on the street Clare is puzzled. “I thought you aren’t supposed to drink?” I m not? “Dr. Kendrick was very strict about it.” “Who’s he?” We are walking slowly because Clare is wearing impractical 5 shoes. “He’s your doctor; he’s a big expert on Chrono-Impairment.” “Explain.” “I don’t know very much. Dr. David Kendrick is a molecular 6 geneticist who discovered—will discover why people are chrono-impaired. It’s a genetic 7 thing; he figures it out in 2006.” She sighs. “I guess it’s just way too early. You told me once that there are a lot more chrono-impaired people about ten years from now.” “I’ve never heard of anyone else who has this—impairment.” “I guess even if you went out right now and found Dr. Kendrick he wouldn’t be able to help you. And we would never have met, if he could.” “Let’s not think about that.” We are in my lobby. Clare precedes me into the tiny elevator. I close the door and push eleven. She smells like old cloth, soap, sweat, and fur. I breathe deeply. The elevator clangs into place on my floor and we extricate 8 ourselves from it and walk down the narrow hallway.“It’s gotten much worse during dinner. I’m going to have to blindfold 9 you.” Clare giggles 10 as I set down the wine and remove my tie. I pass it over her eyes and tie it firmly at the back of her head. I open the door and guide her into the apartment and settle her in the armchair. “Okay, start counting.”
