Alpine Icon (1997)
Alpine Icon
“Milo complained as he watched me turn the burgers on the grill. “I don't much like people under thirty anymore.”
“It's the electronic media,” I said. “They're different from those of us who work in print. Besides, all this guy really wants is to score with Carla. I wonder why.”
“Why do you think?” Milo was frowning up at the dark clouds. “Carla may be dizzy, but she's cute.”
My head jerked up. “You think she's cute?”
The sheriff gave a little shrug. “For a twentysomething girl. I like 'em forty...something and cranky.” He winked, a habit I always found annoying. Maybe that's because I'm cranky.
We took our burgers inside, where I'd already set the table in the dining alcove. I told Milo about the call from Alicia, asking after Francine. Like Vida, he seemed unperturbed.
“Maybe she gave herself a holiday,” he suggested. “She deserves it.”
“I might believe that if she was spending it with her daughter,” I responded, “but she isn't.”
The subject obviously didn't interest Milo.MoreLess
