Riders On the Storm (2014)
“Kate and Nicole sat hypnotized by the TV in the other room and I was tending to plates, glasses, cups, silverware, and napkins when Mary came in with a spoonful of pasta sauce for me to taste.
“Delicious.”
She poked me. “You’d say that even if it was terrible, wouldn’t you?”
I poked her back. “Probably.”
I slung my arm over her shoulder and strolled back into the kitchen with her.
“I met that man this morning.”
“Donlon? The one you told me about last night?”
“Um-hm. Nice guy and very helpful.”
...“Anything the police should know about?”
“Not quite yet. I want to do something before I call Chief Foster.”
In the kitchen window long pre-dusk shadows. The first stars; a large passenger plane soaring toward the half-moon; a TV tower in the distance blinking red signals into the half-night. Mixed with this were the aromas of the kitchen—the scents of pasta, sauce, coffee, and the fresh bread Mary loved to bake.
She was in the process of using a fork to test the progress of the pasta boiling in the metal stockpot on the gas stove.MoreLess
