Katie and her mother talked for almost an hour,
and then she spoke to her father. She was almost as close to him as she
was to her mom. He was a minister, much beloved in the area because he
taught “God-loving” instead of “God-fearing.” The only time he$prime;d ever
been really mad at Katie was when she had packed up and moved to New
York. But he got over it, and he never threw it up in her face anymore.
Her mother and father were like that. Good
people. And so was she, Katie thought, and knew it was true. Good
people.
So why had Matt left her? How could he just walk
out of her life? And what was the diary supposed to tell her that would
somehow make her understand?
What was the deep, dark secret of the diary?
That Matt had a smart, wonderful wife and a beautiful, darling child
and that he had slipped up with her? Had an affair with a New York
woman? Strayed for the first time in his picture-perfect marriage? Damn
him! Damn him!
When she had finished talking to her dad, Katie
sat in her study with her good buddies Guinevere and Merlin; they
curled up on the couch with her and looked out the bay window at the
Hudson. She loved the river, the way it changed every day, or even
several times in the same day. The river was a lesson, just like the
lesson of the five balls.
“What should I do?” she whispered to Guinevere
and Merlin. Tears welled up in her eyes, then spilled down her cheeks.
Katie picked up the phone again. She sat there
nervously tapping the receiver with her fingernail. It took all the
courage that she had, but she finally dialed the number.
Katie almost hung up—but she waited through
ring after ring. Finally, she got the answering machine.
She choked up when she actually heard a voice.
“This is Matt. Your message is important to me. Please leave it at the
beep. Thanks.”
Katie left a message. She hoped it was important
to Matt. “I$prime;m reading the diary,” she said. That was all.
Come to our wedding, Nicky. This is your
invitation. I want you to know exactly what it was like on the day your
mother and father pledged their love.
Snow was falling gently on the island. The bells
were ringing in the clear, cold, crisp December air as dozens of frosty
well-wishers crossed the threshold into the Gay Head Community Church,
which happens to be the oldest Indian Baptist church in the country.
It$prime;s also one of the loveliest.
There is only one word that can describe our
wedding day . . . joy. Matt and I were both
giddy. I was just about flying among the angels carved in the four
corners of the chapel ceiling.
I really did feel like an angel, in an antique
white dress strung with a hundred luminescent pearls. My grandfather
came to Martha$prime;s Vineyard for the first time in fifteen years, just to
walk me down the aisle. All my doctor friends from Boston made the trip
in the dead of winter. Some of my septuagenarian patients came, too.
The church was full, standing room only for the ecumenical service. As
you might have guessed, just about everybody on the island is a friend
of Matt$prime;s.
He was incredibly handsome in a jazzy black tux,
with his hair trimmed for the occasion, but not too short, his eyes
bright and shining, his
