Chapter 6

Hogan’s door buzzer snapped him out of his morose contemplation of the terrible programming on television for the night. He’d been at a loss all day. His attempts to follow Maria’s directive not to think about Vera only seemed to have thrown his past into the forefront of his mind. By now it was making him totally crazy. At least he hadn’t scorched the chowder pot at the shelter again. Of course, they were having minestrone tonight which didn’t burn unless you did something too stupid for even his present state of mind.

He opened the door and almost fell back in shock. There stood Maria Parrano, lovely in a dark blue dress and the same red woolen coat as this morning. Muted with the contrasting blue, she appeared mysterious rather than as a flame under this morning’s streetlight. Mysterious was certainly appropriate, as it was a complete mystery as to why she was tolerating him, never mind seeking him out.

“May I come in?” Her voice teased him for his gawking and fumbling, but did it with a kindness.

“Of course.” It was only as she entered, that he noticed the two flattened moving boxes under one arm.

“What are those for?”

“Hogan Stanford,” she stopped and looked up at him. “There are several things you need to learn for us to be friends. The first is to greet me, the second is to be a gentleman and offer to take my coat.”

He fumbled his way through that. She set aside the boxes without explanation.

“Do I get a tour? Or do we remain standing in your entry hall?”

He slapped his forehead with a loud smack. Get your act together, Stanford. He took a deep breath to calm himself and then offered her his arm. She took it lightly as he led her in.
