Chapter 11

I WARNED AUNTIE about Elliot while we were eating breakfast. “He’s really hitting the bottle now—harder than I’ve ever seen him, and I don’t think jail did him any good. He’s degenerated a lot. If he calls, take a message but don’t encourage him. I just hope I don’t have to get a restraining order.” I wiped my mouth on the napkin.

Auntie let out a long sigh. “I hope not, too. I’ll try to keep him at bay if he starts calling you.”

“I still can’t believe he showed up here. I thought he’d gotten it through that thick skull of his that I don’t want anything to do with him.”

She reached over and patted my hand, then stuck another biscuit in it. “Eat up, you’ve barely touched your food.” As I obediently nibbled on the bread, she added, “Some people just can’t accept rejection. He sounds like he’s not too swift—and if I remember him right from the times we met—he’s not too keen on being pushed aside, either.”

That was certainly true. Elliot was so self-centered that he couldn’t stand it when anybody else was in the spotlight. “Well, whoop-de-do. He’s going to have to get used to the idea that he’s no longer a part of my life. And now, I’d better get on down to the shop. I’ve got an idea.” When I laid out my plan for her, she groaned.

“Just keep me out of it. You know how I feel about that woman,” Auntie said as I swallowed the last bite, grabbed my purse, and hit the door.
