So much went out of place in the wake of Bertie’s visit. The filthy black clothing he’d worn formed a grimy heap on the bedroom floor. All the drawers stood open, contents draped over the front. Boxes from the top of the closet lay in haphazard stacks.

No matter which channel popped on the television in her hospital room, it could not hold Raisa for longer than it took for one thought to cross her mind. She tried to push it away but it popped back up over the music and words that streamed at her from the little elevated box. She [...]

The police cruiser drifted past the cluster of cars jammed around the curb at the open house. Dinah eyed the cars in brief glances torn away from the fat file on her knees. “No violations but close,” she muttered.

The old lady next door had said she would help. She took the cat without question. She tried to cheer Sugar up with the gift of a plant. This man, Bertie, belonged to her somehow and she would be glad to take him back.

The Lexus nudged into a space between a Toyota and a Buick. Peter sprang out and forged across the tidy lawn, past the “Open House” sign. The crowd that went with the cars mostly milled around a tray of finger sandwiches in the living room.

A load of discount tiles awaited PePé when he turned back to the nursery. It was not the plush blue rug that Saffron wanted but she would come to appreciate it. She could throw any sort of area rug over it and clean it up with little effort. The tiles weren’t blue but the warm [...]
