Downhome Crazy (2013)
“I greet him.
He nods. “Did. It’s over.”
“Did you come to visit Miss Priss?” I ask, so hoping that is it.
“I’m worried about my mom. I wondered if you could take me to see her.” He gives me a puppy dog look that makes me regret what I’m about to say. I turn it over to Carson.
“You two talk and I’ll throw supper together,” I say, squeezing past Eugene and into the house.
Carson leans against the porch column and breaks the news to Eugene that his mother’s not in a department that encourages visit...ors. I figure he can do the guy-to-guy thing. He’ll be gentle explaining that Florine’s going to spend the next two and a half days “resting”. I’m not sure Carson will fill him in on the fact her rest will be induced with calming drugs and that before she comes back home, she’ll have spent quality time with the hospital psychiatrist.
Miss Priss looks thoroughly pissed as I walk into the kitchen. She’s sitting on the counter, where I expressly forbade her to be, glaring at her empty dish on the floor.MoreLess
