Honor had been back to work for a week when Risa called her for a lunch date at Maybell’s. It was Saturday and Honor had to do a lot of running around to catch up on her errands, so it was a perfect day to have lunch with a friend. Honor smiled at the thought. She realized she did consider Risa a friend. It felt good.

Honor’s hair was down and its thick dark brown waves tumble down her back. She wore a sleeveless white button-down shirt that hugged her curves, a nice pair of dark blue jeans and a pair of white tennis shoes. She was hoping to convince Risa to do a little window shopping with her today. Who am I kidding? I’m after some retail therapy, Honor thought with her credit and debit cards vibrating happily in her little back pack.

When Honor walked into Maybell’s she spotted Risa sitting at one of the garden-view tables in the back of the restaurant. She also noticed two tall blond women standing over her, and Risa did not look happy. Honor approached slowly and listened.

“What is it with you, LuAnne? Do you lie in wait to attack all of Maybell’s customers, or do you just save it all for me?” Risa asked.

“Oh, I don’t know what you mean, Risa,” LuAnne said, trying to sound innocent. “I merely asked if you would be interested in coming over to my salon and spa and trying out one of our skin treatment regimens for your back. I know how sensitive you are about it. I’ll even give you a discount for the first visit; I do believe that charity starts at home,” LuAnne said and shared a smirk with her blond friend.

Honor saw Risa tense as she tried to hide her hurt with her words. “You mean like the charity you inflicted on poor Mrs. Widden? I hear she had to go all the way to Charlotte to correct the purple mess you made of her hair. LuAnne, believe me, your form of kindness and caring are just about legendary in this town,” Risa said. Her tone was mocking.

“That was not the fault of my shop. It was an unfortunate error with the coloring manufacturer,” LuAnne said frowning.

“Whatever, LuAnne. Just give it up. I have no desire to step into your spider web. Go bother someone else for a while,” Risa said, exasperated.

LuAnne shook her head in mock distress. “I hope I haven’t offended you in some way. You’re so fragile. You won’t send Sam after me, I hope. I know how protective he is of you. You don’t think he’d hurt me do you? I’d hate to have to call the police for assault,” LuAnne said and snickered to her friend.

“Sam would never hit a woman but I wouldn’t have any trouble taking you out, Roxanne,” Honor said purposely getting LuAnne’s name wrong. She had come up to them and was standing directly behind the two blonds. Out of the corner of her
