June (2016)
“Elda took up most of the entrance of Uncle Lem’s, arms outstretched, swathed in scarves, reeking of patchouli. She was larger than life: her voice a little louder than it needed to be, hands flung wider, smile just a bit too broad. She pulled Hank and Nick and, yes, even Tate, into a firm hug that looked uncomfortable. “My sweet, sweet darlings.” She stuck out her bottom lip. “Less than a week ago we said good-bye to that wretched, wonderful man…” Tate pulled away, narrowing her eyes as she wat...ched Elda smear Hank’s and Nick’s cheeks with greasy kisses. Just when Cassie thought Elda’s grief might go nuclear, Elda caught sight of her and dropped the others like dirty rags.
“Is this her? Can this beautiful creature possibly be her?” Elda charged Cassie with an ample smile. Just before impact, Elda stood back, assessing with a cocked head. “Well, goddamn it, she looks just like him. Same red aura.”
