And every time he came home from kindergarten-this kid who didn’t even exist yet-or from high school, or on leave from the army, he would step over the spot where that Rinat or Ronit woman’s body now lay. Twenty-three years! If Daniel got her pregnant now, having post-traumatic sex, she thought, the kid would grow up, finish school, join the army, fight a war, and be discharged-and she and Daniel would still be paying for the apartment every month. Daniel’s mother had given them almost a million and a half, and they’d taken out a twenty-three-year mortgage for the rest. They’d plunked down 3.4 million shekels for this apartment. She wanted to feel sorry for the neighbor and say how horrible it was and how she must have really been suffering, but all that came out was anger. Daniel gave her one of his feeble hugs in which he barely touched her. ![]() “Why aren’t you answering my calls?” he asked, but, before she could explain, he saw the stains on her sweats and said, “What’s going on? Are you O.K.?” Romi wanted to tell him about the neighbor who’d jumped and about the bossy cleaner and about how the stains on her pants would probably never come out, but all she could manage was a strange whimper. Leave her alone.”ĭaniel opened the door irritably. “Hey!” the cleaner yelled again, but then a different male voice said, “Poor girl. “The police should have a look at it.” Romi froze for a moment, but, when her phone started vibrating again, she kept walking. “Well, it looks like blood to me,” the cleaner proclaimed. “Look-her blood’s all over your clothes!” “It’s not blood. “I didn’t see anything.” But the cleaner wouldn’t back down. “Hey!” she heard the cleaner calling after her, and, when she turned around, he yelled, “Lady, where d’you think you’re going? You’re a witness.” “A witness to what?” Romi asked. She touched her cheeks to make sure she wasn’t crying, took a deep breath, and walked into the building. It was Daniel, but she didn’t want to tell him anything over the phone. The distant sirens mingled with the vibration of Romi’s cell. They were just talking about it on the news.” “Everyone’s committing suicide these days. “It’s because of COVID,” the cleaner said. Someone said that the woman’s name was Rinat or Ronit, and someone else said that she’d seen her crying in the elevator a few days earlier. Within seconds, a crowd had gathered, and the sweaty guy who cleaned the lobby was calling an ambulance. She heard running, panting, and voices shouting. Romi dropped the tray, spilling coffee all over herself, and her eyes locked in on the stains on her sweatpants so she wouldn’t have to see anything else. Romi was just coming back from the coffee shop, carrying two lattes, when the neighbor hit the sidewalk. Three days after they moved into their new apartment, the woman who lived above them, on the eighth floor, jumped out of her window.
