Chapter 19: Stacey Wants a Word
I stepped out onto the landing and pulled the door shut behind me.
Behind it, I could hear Dad's recliner stop creaking.
Stacey smiled at me.
"I made fresh ones," she said, and lifted the eggs. "I had to leave the other ones at Marilyn's."
"I remember."
"I looked you up. Your dad's friend with the Buick posted the building on a neighborhood page. I hope that's okay."
