Cake On a Hot Tin Roof
“Maybe I should have told her what Mellie said, but I didn’t want to worry her. She had enough on her mind, what with Uncle Nestor’s bad heart and all.Besides, no matter what Mellie might have overheard, I knew my uncle. He might have a short fuse and an explosive temper, but he’s not a murderer.After a while, Sullivan reappeared with a still-sullen and silent Uncle Nestor and told us we were free to go—for now. I wondered if the police were taking Mellie Boudreaux’s story seriously, but I didn’...t want to ask in front of Aunt Yolanda, so I swallowed my questions and promised myself I’d ask Sullivan later.We dodged reporters on the way back to the car and settled in for the drive home, Uncle Nestor in the front seat with me, Aunt Yolanda in the back. I tried asking Uncle Nestor about his interview with Sullivan, but he still wasn’t talking, so we drove back to the house in silence broken only by an occasional observation from Aunt Yolanda about things we passed.She seemed fascinated by the Mardi Gras decorations and crowds gathering at such an early hour everywhere, but I suspected she was just trying to distract me so I wouldn’t upset Uncle Nestor.MoreLess
