Chapter Three

When Iris asked Edna Petunia questions the following morning about where she'd been all day, Edna felt a panic rising up into her chest. She finally had the potential to be happy, and she couldn't ruin it. If she spoke about it, would Cletus disappear? She couldn't risk losing him, and if that made her a superstitious ninny, then so be it!

"I was with a friend." She wasn't going to say any more. Iris was her employer and her friend, but this was something she simply couldn't share yet. Why, she couldn't even write about it in a diary. She didn't keep a diary, but even if she did, she wouldn't write about it!

"I had lunch with the Harveys yesterday. They've invited us to dinner tonight. Would you like to go?" Iris asked. She obviously wanted to ask more, but she didn't, and Edna appreciated that.

"I have plans." She'd promised she'd give Cletus her answer about marrying him that night. She was a bit panicked because she hadn't made a decision yet. Why, she wasn't sure if she could live with the old goat for the rest of her life. She wasn't sure if he could live with her, either!

"All right then. Are you seeing your nieces?"

Edna Petunia blinked at Iris for a moment. Her nieces? She then remembered telling Iris about her nieces who lived in Dalton, Texas. It was too far to just go for a day, though. She hadn't realized that until she came to Texas. The state was huge in a way a map could never portray. "No." Edna Petunia said nothing else, putting breakfast on the table. "Do you have any appointments today?"

Iris frowned at her change of subject, but she let it pass. Edna breathed a sigh of relief. She'd talk about her relationship with Cletus after they were legally wedded and bedded and not a minute before.
