Chapter 20: Davina's Price
"Seven of eleven," August said. "Who?"
Truman named nobody.
"The golf ones," he said finally. "And the ones who owe him for leases. I built that board. Fifty years. He bought it in a month."
"Pop," I said, before I could stop myself.
I'd never once called him that.
Chandler called him that.
The line went quiet.
"I'm sorry about this morning," I said. "I'm not sorry for what I said. I'm sorry I said it in front of them."
"Girl." His voice cracked. "You're the only person who's talked straight to me in a year. Don't you dare be sorry."
He hung up.
August stood with his hands on the railing.
"I'm going back to the shop," I said.
"I know."
"I'm still angry."
"I know." He turned. "Drive safe. Text me when you're inside. You don't have to say anything else."
I texted him from the cot.
"Inside."
He wrote back in under a second.
"Thank you."
The rest of the week I worked.
The gardenias were coming on the eighteenth, and I had nowhere to put three hundred of them, so Annabeth and I cleared half the cooler and scrubbed every shelf with bleach.
