Chapter 17: Notice
Hester stood at the iron gate with her cane planted in the gravel.
Jonas stopped the truck in the middle of the drive, and I was out of it before the engine died.
Delilah waited on the far side of the bars in a cream suit.
Dale stood a step behind her with his hands in his pockets.
A deputy in a tan uniform held a sheet of paper and looked as though he wished he were anywhere else.
Behind them, up and down the street, the neighbors had come out.
A man in a golf shirt leaned on his mailbox, and the woman with the stroller had brought a friend.
"Willa," Delilah said, bright and loud. "How good of you to join us."
"Deputy," Hester said, before I could answer, "I changed your diaper at the church nursery."
The deputy turned red to his ears.
"Mrs. Middleton"
"You were a biter. You've grown into a handsome man."
"Now tell me what you're doing on my grandson's property with a fool in a cream suit."
