Halloween Surprise...
Topsannah picked up the phone on the second ring. “Yes, Grady?”
“I spoke to…Sandy about y’all coming down. She wants to do it sooner rather than later.”
“George is going to look around down there this evening. I am still doing research. I…may have found something, depending on what he finds or doesn’t find.”
“How soon?”
She sighed. “As soon as we finish what we are doing. We do not rush things, Grady.”
“Yes, ma’am,” he said quietly. “I will wait for you to call me back.” He could almost see Topsannah shaking her head at him as he waited for her response.
“Do you like this woman?”
That wasn’t the question he expected, and he had to think about it. He finally said, “I…find I am attracted to her. I…like her and her little girl.”
“That is good. We will call you.” He realized he was listening to a dial tone and slowly slipped the phone back in the holster on his belt. Why does she always make me feel like I’m twelve?
