On the morning of the attorney’s visit the house was filled with the delicious aroma of fresh baked bread and apple pie.

Evelyn laughingly said, “Jim will follow his nose right to the house.”

With beef roast and potatoes in the oven, Molly took time to freshen up before their guest arrived. She bathed her face and slipped on a soft blue blouse and matching skirt. She wrapped her shining braids around her head and slipped her feet into slim heeled pumps. On an impulse she applied a touch of lipstick to her lips. “Dutch courage,” she told herself. With that thought, she turned back to dab a small amount of perfume to the base of her throat. She wanted this meeting to be over as she had never wanted anything else since the whimsical desires of her childhood. It was ridiculous, of course, because her father would have planned what he thought was best for her. She could almost hear his reassuring voice saying, “It will be all right.”

Jim’s voice was coming in on the citizen’s band radio. “KGF-1452 . . . calling KFK-1369 . . . come in, Evie baby. Your ever-lovin’s callin’ . . .”

Grinning, Evelyn picked up the microphone. “Jim, you idiot, everyone within fifty miles is listening!”

“Ten-four, Evie baby,” Jim’s voice came back. “What’s wrong with them all knowing I’m your ever-lovin’?”

“Nothing at all, but the radio is supposed to be used for business and not for . . . horsin’ around.”

“Yes, I know. You are my business, Evie baby. See you in a few . . . KGF-1452 mobile down and clear.”

Molly heard the plane go over the cabin and a few minutes later it landed on the lake. The girls threw light sweaters over their shoulders and went out onto the porch.

Jim was striding purposefully up the path. Molly was surprised to see two men following Jim. She knew the shorter, heavier man was Herb Belsile, her father’s attorney. The other man was some distance away, but Molly was sure she didn’t know him and guessed he was one of Herb’s assistants.

Herb approached Molly, holding out his hand. “Hello, Molly. I’m sorry we are meeting under these circumstances. Please accept my deepest sympathy. Charlie was one of my best friends.”

“Thank you, Herb.” Molly gave him her hand. “Do you know, Mrs. Robinson, Jim’s wife? She has been kind enough to spend a few days with me.”

Evelyn was standing in Jim’s embrace, but extended her hand to Herb.

“Nice meeting you, Mr. Belsile. Molly and I hope you men are hungry. We’ve been cooking up a storm.”

The third man had not come forward to be introduced. He was standing back, feet braced apart, staring at Molly. He was casually dressed in tan twill pants and a tan and green ski sweater. Molly looked at him and thought him handsome. He was looking directly at her and she couldn’t look away. His eyes were luminous black, and like his mouth were just there in his face, grave, quiet, and bitter.
