hate them because I want some of the action. I don't want to end up being a white nigger, if you know what I mean."
Frankie dropped the leg irons he was holding and turned to George.
"You ain't smart enough to be a nigger, George," Frankie said.
“Don’t use that word, George. It’s ugly.”
George turned, and once again ran his hands along the wet, stone walls.
“I didn’t mean anything by it, really. It’s just Frankie and me playing, okay? Let’s get out of here,” George said.
"Wait,” Eva said, blocking George and Frankie. “You must both promise me you'll never tell anyone about this place. It's very important!" Eva looked back and forth at both of them. Frankie and George couldn’t help and think of their own secret place.
"And, you both need to kiss me to prove that your word is good."
She put her arms around Frankie and kissed him firmly on the lips while George stood and watched in amazement. Finally, Frankie pulled away slowly, looked over at George, then said to Eva, “You’re a real strange girl, Eva, a real strange girl.”
Eva then turned to George. She grabbed his face and kissed him passionately. When they finally parted, she said, “Secrets are very powerful things between friends.”
The three of them left the secret passageway and returned to the study, closing the bookshelf behind them.
Later that the evening, after running out of things to say, they sat in the dark in the large living room, listening to music. Eva got a joint from her pant’s pocket and showed George and Frankie how to smoke it. It was the “Summer of Love” and anything was possible. The world was theirs to taste and experience. A Procol Harum song, “Whiter Shade of Pale” filled the house. The melody floated around them like a rich circle of smoke, drawing them all closer together as they drifted off into the music.
