As I was walking toward the garden path that ran between the gate house and the wall, I heard a vehicle crunching the gravel behind me. I turned to see a white Lexus SUV heading toward the open gates, driven by Susan Stanhope Sutter. 当我朝着那连接门房与墙的花间路走去的时候,我听见背后有一辆车碾着碎石向我驶来。 我回头一看,是一辆白色的雷克萨斯运动跑车,司机是Susan

The Lexus slowed, and we made

eye contact. She'd seen the BMW, of course, and may have know to whom it belonged, but even if she didn't she knew I had company of some sort.

雷克萨斯减速,我与她四目相投。她当然见过宝马,也许知道属于谁的,但就算她不知道,也应该知道我有这样的客户。

It 's awkward making eye contact with the former love of your life, into whose eyes you no longer wishe to look, and I didn't know what to do. Wave? Blow a kiss? Flip the bird? Ms. Post?Help me. 与旧爱眼神接触是件别扭的事,看着对方那双你不再迷恋的眼眸真不知如何是好,挥手致意?飞吻?或给她一个中指?拜托Post夫人!

It was Susan who waved, almost perfunctiorily, then she accelerated through the gates. making a hard, tire-screeching right onto Grace Lane. 是Susan先对我敷衍地挥挥手,然后她把车开进门房,当车子经过格蕾丝巷时轮胎地面摩擦发出尖叫声

I noticed that my mood had darkened. Why does Susan Sutter still have the power to affect my frame of mind? 我的心情立马跌入低谷。为何Susan还有能量来影响我的心情呢?

I needed to answer that question honestly, before I sould move on.  在越雷池之前我恐怕得要把这个问题先搞清楚。
