An Accidental Hero
“For every delicious morsel of food Lamont’s housekeeper served up, Violet and Ivy dished out unwanted advice. Like blond stereo speakers, the twins voiced shock that their eldest sister had secretly married a near stranger, had been carrying his child when he died. They were harsh and disappointed that Cammi had kept her hardships to herself these past few months.
Lily, usually the most likely to take up for the underdog, didn’t participate in the heated discussion. She sat, sullenly poking at ...her food, too preoccupied to join either side of the debate. Cammi made a mental note to seek her out later, find out what had caused the uncharacteristically gloomy mood. Hopefully, nothing had happened to one of Lily’s beloved animals.
Lamont finally put an end to the twins’ carping criticisms. “Give it a rest, girls,” he scolded, throwing down his napkin. “I thought we put this kind of squabbling behind when you left kindergarten.”
He meant well, Cammi knew. And the Good Lord knew the man deserved one peaceful meal, after all she’d put him through these past few days…these past few years.MoreLess
