She continued down the street, beyond the square houses whose windows watched the broken routine and whose gardens offered life to the blue sky above. A jar she hadn’t packed rolled from the cart and smashed on the ground. Bollinger grabbed her cart’s rough handles and hurried off. He clung to the idea that significant moments would glow brighter in the looming dusk of his mind. A minor detail to lose, yet if one memory wasn’t safe, none were. He’d picked Susanna as heiress to his mother’s piece, La Marie Antoinette, but could not recall when he’d made the decision. Levin negotiated with those who had little money no good soul was excluded. It was attached to the watch his father had made for her. He noticed a silver chain dangling from her pocket. Levin called her again as she rattled jars into rawhide bags. She sold flowers and herbs she’d picked herself from a wheezy cart, often conducting her business outside of the stone courthouse, where activity seldom stirred. Bollinger wore a black frock that had, over the years, faded to purple beneath the sun. The air smelled of the nearby mountain stream, which was swollen with spring snowmelt. They wore grave expressions, their faces filled with panic, anger.īut Gustav, the minister, had children at his side, and he shoved past Levin. His neighbors scattered around him at too quick a pace, a river flowing past a stubborn stone. With a bit of shaving cream still on his face, he put the wrong shoes on the wrong feet and stumbled into the cold. He stubbornly believed he would stay well until he fulfilled his life’s purpose: presenting the perfect watch to the woman he loved. The illness had started forming two years ago, around his sixty-third birthday. Or could it have been? Doubt ballooned inside of him a headache prodded the front of his skull. He studied the calendar, unable to remember when he’d planned to give Susanna her gift. Even in darkness, the watch seemed to catch light. He carefully fastened the original Breguet his father had given him-handcrafted from eighteen-karat rose gold, fixed with a brown leather strap and a gold tang buckle. It made him feel as though he could control time. His costume’s chief accoutrement he saved for the end, when all was in order. When he finally finished, he dressed in a white cotton shirt and corduroy trousers. Levin paused a few times, trying to calm himself, instead falling into the wide eyes regarding him from the other side. The blade shimmered in the mirror, scraping the stubble from his papery cheeks.
He rushed from bedroom to bathroom, mumbling the phrase, “Not today, not today.”Ĭold water, minty shaving cream. The road from the mountain led to his village and then to the city beyond. He pictured the tiny suns glinting off their helmets. Levin imagined them trampling the tulips. The vanguard of their ranks spilled into the green valley. Soldiers approached in the distance: a line of ants, moving through a pass in the mountainside. Despite what time had done to his mind, his sight remained sharp.
