Dead As a Doornail
“Normally, I put a little money into my shoes since I have to stand up so much, but there was no time to go to Clarice to the one good shoe shop there or to drive over to Monroe to the mall. When I got to work, Sweetie Des Arts came out of the kitchen to hug me, her thin body wrapped in a white cook's apron. Even the boy whobussed the tables told me he was sorry. Holly and Danielle, who were switching off shifts, each gave me a pat on the shoulder and told me they hoped things got better for me.
Arlene asked me if I thought that handsome Dennis Pettibone would be coming by, and I told her I was sure he would.
"I guess he has to travel a lot," she said thoughtfully. "I wonder where he's based." "I got his business card. He's based in Shreveport . He told me he bought himself a small farm right outside of Shreveport , now that I think about it." Arlene's eyes narrowed. "Sounds like you and Dennis had a nice talk." I started to protest that the arson investigator was a little lo...ng in the tooth for me, but since Arlene had stuck to saying she was thirty-six for the past three years, I figured that would be less than tactful.MoreLess
