Chapter 29: The Open Kitchen
Rita carried the confirmed deed home in a flour tin.
She refused a frame until the kitchen was rebuilt.
Six weeks later, the new oven arrived through the depot doors.
The engine repairer had rebuilt the old truck, and the woman with the shop key had painted its side blue again.
The outline of Orson's red tag was finally gone.
I stood on a ladder while Rita argued with the oven installers about where its vent belonged.
"She has measured it three times," I told them.
"Four," she said.
They moved the vent.
The first bread stuck to the new oven's floor.
Rita blamed the installer.
The installer blamed our flour.
I scraped the loaf free and handed everyone a piece before either could argue again.
It tasted smoky and good.
Rita set aside the best crust for the office witness, who had missed breakfast to speak at another hearing.
