The First Wives Club
“We met last Christmas. I’m Karen Palinsky.” She slid beside Chris in the booth and he took her hand.
Of course. Annie recognized her. She was one of the staff at Aaron’s shop.
“Yes, I remember you. Nice to see you again.” Karen looked better, softer, than the last time Annie had seen her.
“Mrs. Paradise, Annie, I just wanted to thank you for raising such a wonderful man,” Karen said as she turned to smile at Chris.
“Pshaw,” Chris said.
“No, I mean it. It’s so rare to meet a man who isn’t closed... off or defensive or who dbesn’t hate women.”
“Is it?” Annie asked.
“Well, you haven’t been single for long,” Karen said, and laughed.
“That or you’ve been lucky.”
“I have? Perhaps,” Annie said, feeling dazed. “And now, I’ve got to go.” She rose and turned to Chris. ‘I see I leave you in good hands.”
She kissed him before she left.
Ten minutes later, Annie stepped into the magnificently ornate building on West Fifty-eight Street that housed Petrossian’s.MoreLess
