Chapter Twenty-Nine

The ride to the fairgrounds was quiet. Nick didn't know what to say to the woman. He admired her passion for the fair, though. He'd expected her to be one of those women who didn't cook and didn't know anything about doing things for herself. Instead she seemed to be well aware of the ongoing and rapid loss of the skills necessary for survival. He liked that. The lines of an old country and western song ran through his mind. Something about not wanting a drugstore woman, if he remembered correctly. He snuck a glance at her. She wasn't a drugstore woman.

Jean was letting her short hair go gray. There was very little makeup on her face. Little lines were forming at the corners of her eyes. No nonsense, practical, he thought to himself. Her ex must be a fool.

He let her off at the fair gate. "Take care, Jean," he said as she got out.

She leaned in the door. "I will, Nick."

He watched as she went through the gate and turned to go to the Exhibits building until she was out of sight. Nick glanced at the clock. He had a little while before he had things to do so he picked up the radio and called his friend, Paul Oliver, to meet for coffee.
