Chapter 14: Wear Something You Didn't Make

Brad left the truck running and walked into his own headlights.

He had his work jacket on and his easy smile ready, and he stopped ten feet short of the bench.

"Mona," he said. "Truck."

She did not move.

"Lana, I didn't know you two were talking." He lifted both hands. "I'd think my wife would call her lawyer before she called my friend's widow."

"She texted me," I said. "I came."

"Mona's not well. She had surgery last week."

"I'm fine, Brad."

"You're tired."

The gym's back door banged open.

Two mothers came out with a folding table between them, and the school secretary behind them with a box of leftover book fair posters.

All three of them saw us and stopped.

Brad turned the smile on them.

"Evening, ladies. Family business. We're going."

"Tell them what you told her to say about me," I said.

His smile stayed where it was.

"I don't know what you mean."

"There's a paper in her pocket."

Mona's hand went flat over her coat.

"Lana, you're upset," Brad said, loud and gentle, so the women could hear it. "You've had a rough week. Let us drive you home."

"I have a ride."

"Then let your sister take you, and we'll talk about the dinner."

I waited.

"The Tilden Supply Founders' Dinner is the thirteenth," he said. "Spouses attend. Everybody at the company knows my wife, and everybody will notice if she isn't there."
