Because (Seven Year Itch #4)
“I’d hate to come home after a long day and deal with more bullshit, but I’m always prepared for anything when it comes to my wife.
I know she’s not home when I pull into the driveway and find her car gone. It’s not unusual for her to run out to the store because she forgot some ingredient for what she’s making for dinner. I turn off the ignition and climb out of the car at the same time my neighbor is walking into my yard.
Miss Patsy is famous for asking me for favors, because she’s too old to do the things herself. She’s been a widow for the past five years, and Shay and I feel sorry for her. Her kids live out of state, so they’re no help to her. I offer her a smile when she gets close enough. “Hi, Miss Patsy. How are you today?”
“I’m good, Brandon. I’m doing real good, all except for my hip. It gives me hell every time it rains.”
“I’m sorry to hear that. Is there something I can do for you?”
