Jerry went downstairs for breakfast. Because there weren’t any other guests, Mrs. Searcy invited him to have breakfast with her and her daughter, Catherine. Catherine was already sitting in the dining room. She was about thirteen years old, with long black hair and clear gray eyes. And Catherine looked at each other nervously for a few seconds.
Jerry: There are four places at the table. Is there another guest?
Catherine: No. We never talk about the empty place.
Jerry: “the empty place?” what do you mean?
Catherine: well, that used to be my father’s place.
Jerry: “Used to be?” I don’t understand.
Catherine: My father liked to go fishing. Three years ago he went out on his boat, and he never came back.
Jerry: What happened to him?
Catherine: Nobody knows. They searched everywhere, but they never found anything. My mother always keeps that place for him, and she makes his breakfast every morning. She thinks he’ll come back. that’s a picture of him . . . over there on the wall. My mother’s been waiting for him for three years.
