MONROE, I appreciate you coming by to talk with me.” Tess greeted Joey Higgins's step-father at the door to her office. “My secretary's gone for the day, but I can fix us some coffee if you like.”
“Not for me.” He stood, uncomfortable as always in her presence, and waited for her to make the first move.
“I realize you've already put in a full day,” she began, not adding she'd put in one of her own.
“I don't mind the extra time if it helps Joey.”“I know.” She smiled, gesturing him to a chair. “I
... haven't had many opportunities to speak to you privately, Mr. Monroe, but I want to tell you that I can see how hard you're trying with Joey.”
“It isn't easy.” He folded his overcoat on his lap. He was a tidy man, organized by nature. His fingers were neatly manicured, his hair combed into place, his suit dark and conservative. Tess thought she understood how inscrutable he would find a boy like Joey.
“It's harder on Lois, of course.”
“Is it?” Tess sat behind her desk, knowing the distance and the impersonal position would make it easier for him.
