Family Case of Murder
“Lacy slid one of her chocolates to Gregor. “I’m sorry for taking your game,” she said. “I get a little on edge without sugar.”
“I know the feeling,” he said. He picked up the chocolate, hands trembling. He ripped it open and leaned down to take it with his mouth, emitting loud gobbling sounds.
Lacy looked away, horrified. “That’s not what I look like, is it?” she whispered to Jason.
“Of course not,” he said, giving her shoulder a pat. She was reassured until he continued. “You look worse, much,... much worse. You make him look normal.”
She scowled at him until he lifted her hand to his mouth and kissed it. Funny how such a small touch from him could make her forget so many things. Aunt Enid arrived, Emeril Lagasse perched on her shoulder, and the meal came to order.
Lacy, an introvert by nature, had even more motivation to sit back and observe her fellow diners. She let conversation flow around her, listening, taking it all in. Jason appeared to be doing the same thing or else he was intently focused on his meal.MoreLess
