“Judy asked.“You got a bathroom we can use later?”“Uh, sure. Right off the kitchen.”“In that case, pour me a big ’un!”Judy smiled. Poured coffee into paper cups. Four of the new home’s five bathrooms were still operational. The one off Zack’s bedroom was a mess. Good thing the plumber was coming that afternoon, too.“Is your father here?” Judy asked Mandica.“Yeah. Probably someplace shady taking a nap. I swear, if his name wasn’t already on the truck, I’d fire him!”“Do you think he’d like some coffee?”“Never saw him turn down a free cup.”“Zack?
