Trial By Fire (2016)
“Or the girl who had silently watched the whole thing.
When I finally gave up, exhausted, I realized that I would have to walk home—unless I asked Aunt Ginny for a ride. After the mood she’d been in the night before, I decided to take the exercise option.
By the time I reached our driveway, I was sticky and sweaty. I let myself into the house, had a shower, got something to eat and stretched out on a chaise under a massive oak tree behind the house. I didn’t budge until Aunt Ginny shook ...me awake.
“I’ve been calling you,” she said. “I even tried your cell.”
“It’s in the house. What time is it?”
“After six. I bought chicken. Let’s get supper ready.”
When Aunt Ginny buys chicken, she doesn’t mean chicken that you can roast or fry.
She means a ready-to-eat chicken. If I’m lucky, it’s barbecued chicken from a grocery store.MoreLess
