Nobody's Angel
“I thought I’d hear from you first thing this morning.” Mads didn’t keep her waiting.
“Yeah.” Lucy wrapped her scarf around her neck as Richard disappeared into her house. “I had a thing this morning, with my dad, but it’s done now.”
“So, how did it go?” Mads wanted to know about the amends.
“It went . . . okay.” And she really didn’t have any other words to describe the scene with Richard.
Mads listened in silence as Lucy went through the details, omitting the last part.

“Uh-huh.”
“I don’t like the sound of that.” Mads was like a bloodhound on the trail.
“Let me ask you a hypothetical question.” Lucy tramped up the street as Mads went silent to listen. “Say, a person was trying to get her life in order and needed to make peace with her past to do that?”
“Hmm?” Mads rumbled softly. “Hypothetically speaking, right?”MoreLess
