My Husband Buried Me in Gossip, So I Came Back With His Brother novel · Chapter 15 of 24
Chapter 15: The Pill Bottle
Jo's POV
The Harvest Supper at Zion Lutheran is held in the gym on the last Saturday of October.
Three hundred people come for ham, scalloped potatoes, and a pie table that stretches the length of the free-throw line.
I had worked that kitchen sixteen years.
This year I came in the front door with Dale beside me, in front of everyone, with my hands empty.
Heads turned, and then they turned back.
Nobody said a word, and a plate of green beans was pressed into my hands before I reached the serving line.
The pie table stood under the east basket with a hand-lettered sign: FOR THE YOUTH TRIP.
Darlene sat behind it in her best apron, with a cash box at her elbow and her silver curls freshly set.
She smiled at me across forty pies.
I smiled back and walked into the kitchen.
Dale followed, because I had asked him to.
The church kitchen was steamy and loud with women, and for a minute nobody looked up from the ham.
I led him to the walk-in cooler by the back door, where the noise dropped to a hum.
"We have maybe ten minutes before the program," I said.
