Chapter 7

Carol let the phone ring and ring. Her daddy was pissed at her. Mother was having a fit because of the mess on the front lawn, and the staff wasn’t giving her anything that she demanded. What were servants for, she thought, if not to abuse and take advantage of? Carol didn’t understand why the moving company hadn’t done as she wanted and left it all on Jake’s grass, but here it was. All seventy-four pieces of it, set up like it was sitting in her house right there on the front lawn. She wanted to murder someone, and if someone didn’t answer the phone soon, it was going to be the stupid moving company owner. She picked up the chips she’d stolen from the pantry an hour ago when she couldn’t get anyone to make her a sandwich.

“Harvard Moving. How may I help you?” Carol had to chew faster when the woman finally answered the phone. “Hello? This is Harvard Moving.”

“This is Carol Winslow. I have a complaint about how I was treated today.” The woman said that the conversation was being recorded. That was the second time this week that she’d heard that. Why on earth did anyone want to have a recording of her? “I had your company move my things to my house. Yet here it is, on my parents’ lawn and not where I wanted it.”

“You said this is Carol Winslow?” Carol said it was. “Mrs. Winslow, Mr. Winslow refused the shipment. The driver said he spoke to Mr. Winslow and he said that the two of you are no longer living together, and that we should take the furniture back to the storage units. And since they were already rented again, there was nowhere for us to go but to the address on the slip. I’m not sure what else you expected us to do when you never answered the calls we placed to you.”

“My cell phone is temporally out of service. That’s something else I’m taking care of.” The woman on the other end said nothing. “Look, I need for you to come here and do something with my things. My dad is having a fit and it’s supposed to rain tonight. I can’t have my things ruined because your company didn’t do what I told them to do. I’ll expect you here within the hour since I’ve been trying to reach you all afternoon.”

“We’re a business with a great many other customers that aren’t as demanding as you. And if you mean deliver furniture to a house that you no longer reside at, that’s not going to happen either.” Carol said that it was her home. “I don’t think so. Nor do I think the person living there thinks so. Mr. Winslow was very clear on the fact that you don’t have any rights to the house.”

“My husband is delusional. He thinks that just because I took everything out of my house that he has the right to divorce me. Well, I’ve told him that he’s not going to do that and we’re working out the details.
