“Yeah, but now you’re happy in love. And that’s going to make for a better relationship with you and Lidi as well. Old Auntie Martha knows a thing or two about the human condition.”

“We’re still on for tonight, right?”

“I personally called everybody either on Monday or Tuesday, depending on when I could get ahold of them and threatened each and every one. Back down and you die. Sort of like that ‘Don’t Tread on Me’ Gadsden flag.

“10-4,” she said, hanging up.

I decided to wear a regular suit and skirt to work for the day, but had already planned to break out a little early so that I’d already be made up and dressed when Kárin showed up.
