Charlotte and Gerry drove in silence. Henry prattled to Toby about shopping until they too fell silent, not speaking until they reached the edge of town.
"Tecumseh if you please," he said, directing Charlotte to the right.
"I might have guessed," she said. "Gentlemen's Outfitters, yeah? Not Walmart."
Henry laughed and Gerry couldn't help smiling to himself. He hoped the kid had cleansed himself thoroughly. As for Charlotte, well...that was a conversation they'd have when and if they were both good and ready. Being in the company of Henry and Toby suddenly felt like a boon, an opportunity to kick the whole thing down the road.
"Over there," Henry said, pointing. "I've got a charge account."
Gerry turned and saw it. Marcos and Wiseman. Of course you have a charge account, he thought. He'd heard of it. Way too expensive for his budget. All European gear, expensive labels, trendsetting. He was more than interested to go inside, especially with someone like Henry who was buying.
Charlotte nosed the car up to the kerb and they all climbed out. Gerry watched Toby stand and fidget, all four of them dressed in a way likely to have them barred entry.
"Walk this way," Henry said, entering the store. The doorman smiled and called him sir. Gerry, Charlotte and Toby followed. The doorman was less animated.
