The Caretaker's Son (2013)
“Annabelle said she’d be in a back room of the department store, choosing clothes for the fashion show before they were put on the racks. But whoever finished first would wait for the other.
Approaching the store, he spied her near the front with two other women. She looked out and acknowledged him with a direct gaze and a smile, then returned her attention to the other women.
He knew which would be Celeste. The tall blonde with a sleek chignon, long legs in off-white pants, a jacket ove...r a grass-green blouse and really high heels. The conservative-looking woman in a suit and white collared shirt would be the manager.
Of course he already knew how Annabelle looked from the moment she walked out of the house and got into his car.
“What’s the color of your sweater set?” he’d asked. “I have to describe women’s clothes in my writing and am sorely lacking.”
She gave him a look.MoreLess
