Cat Cross Their Graves (2007)
Cat Cross Their Graves
“They had looked everywhere for the kit; no one knew where else to look.
And she felt edgy about Joe, too. A dozen times last night as they searched for the kit, she’d wanted to tell him the secret that lay between them, tell him where she’d been going for the past two weeks. But every time she started to mention Lori, she reminded herself that she had, in her own heart, promised the child. That when Lori whispered, “You won’t tell anyone, Dulcie,” she had, by her purring and cuddling, really pr...omised Lori, just as much as if she had whispered, “I’ll never say a word.”
Now, agonizing, all she did was get her mind in a muddle. She went into the library at last, not through Lori’s secretly unlocked basement window, but through the open front door. As library cat, she had as much business padding in through the main entrance as had the head librarian—and there had been times in the past, with another head librarian, when Dulcie had been more welcome. Her appearance in the library always generated smiles and greetings and pets, and today was no different.MoreLess
