Mildred was ready for work but didnât need to sign in for a couple hours, so she stopped at Rubyâs beauty shop and got a haircut. Luckily, Ruby wasnât busy and with no wait, there was plenty of extra time. A short walk to the mall and Mildred strolled stores. She wanted some new jeans and a pair of pajama pants with working elastic. Surprised, Mildred found she was down a pants size, probably a perk due to all the walking at work.
As she wandered the ladiesâ department, Mildred kept reminding herself that this was just personal maintenance; there were no plans. Mildred finally found herself in the lingerie. She thought, maybe, some underwear from this decade. A half hour slipped past, much longer than expected due to the dramatic change of styles. Mildred couldnât understand who would choose to wear a thong. They looked like lacy torture, much like a bathing suit she had had in second grade that didnât stay put. It took a while to find panties that were pretty and didnât reside in her behind. But it was finally accomplished, along with two lovely bras from the clearance rack.
After locking two large shopping bags in the trunk, she had to rush to work. G-Ma on the floor.
There was an immediate response. Gotcha.
Larry?
Yes.
She called in on her cell. âLarry, is Arnie in yet?â
âNo, he isnât, but he said he will be by eight. Do you want to leave a message?â
Mildred hesitated for a moment. âNo. I need to talk to you privately. Do you have a minute?â
âAllâs quiet. On my way. Meet you in interrogation.â The phone went quiet, and Mildred walked over. When she arrived, Larry was already there unlocking the door. âWhat is the deal-e-o?â
âI want to be sure this is only between us.â
âNo problem. My lips can seal up.â Larry pinched his mouth closed.
Mildred sat on the edge of the table. âHere is the deal. Arnie isnât doing well with his dadâs death. He acts like itâs just another day, but it isnât.â
Larry looked at her, nodding in agreement, he then said, âI know he showed up to work the next night, early. Iâve been worried. He said that everything was planned and it wasnât any surprise.â
Mildred went on. âYeah, his dad had suffered from Alzheimerâs for years and it had accelerated.â
âMildred, this is all general knowledge. Why are we whispering in a private room?â
Mildred blushed and continued to speak softly. âHe has spent the last two nights at my house. He canât seem to be able to go home.â
Larry stared at her with questions evident on his face.
âIt is not what you think, so donât worry.â Larry nodded but struggled to not tease. âI got him to go to his place this afternoon and I offered to help. The living room is like a hospital with a bed, and medical equipment and supplies.â She stopped for a moment. âJust mentioning straightening up caused him to nearly collapse. He only recovered when I hinted at magic spells and a group of elves.
