Chapter 9: Pass the Greens
Royce Tankersley lived in a brick ranch house on Highway 49 with white columns on the porch and a flagpole in the yard.
His wife met us at the door in a navy church dress.
She was a small woman with Jesse's gray eyes and a dish towel over her shoulder.
She hugged me quickly and hard, said "Come in, come in," and did not say anything else.
The dining room table had its extra leaf in, and it was set for six.
Royce sat at the head with his napkin tucked in his collar.
Waylon sat on his left with the Peach Queen beside him in a pink sweater, one hand resting on his arm.
Jesse pulled out my chair on the far side, across from them, and sat down next to me.
The green dress was cool against my skin.
Against the front of me, in the pocket of the lace, the bullet sat quiet and small.
"Well," Royce said. "Look who came to supper."
