The Story Sisters (2009)
“He crossed his heart. He wanted comfort, nothing more. Robbery was tiring work. He slept in a corner, curled up. When he awoke he was famished. I cooked him eggs and toast. I kept an eye on him. He kept his hands to himself. The silver candlesticks were still on the table. The pearl brooch was at my throat.
He made a list of all the things he’d taken. He wanted redemption and faith and I offered him both. When daylight came I asked him to stay. I could see from his face this had happened to him... before. Women wanted to rob him of the life he led, the road, the dark night, the open windows, the stars. The whole world belonged to him. When he left he swore he’d be back. It didn’t matter. He’d already taken everything I had.
IT WAS A GOOD PLAN, BUT PLANS FALL APART. ONCE ONE THING goes wrong, everything else can easily unwind and there you are, left with nothing but the hole you’ve fallen into. It was supposed to be safe. They would talk people into handing over their money. Lorry liked to do things that way, use charm rather than force, tell folks what they wanted to hear.MoreLess
