Enormous diamond rings encircled four of her fi ngers, mementos from the men she had outlived. “I like to get out early and get my business done before the traffi c gets heavy.” Debbie Sue grinned. In Salt Lick, more than a dozen vehicles were never on the road at any given time of the day. With the village’s population of twelve hundred, the possibility of gridlock was remote.

“You don’t have an appointment today, but I’ve got some time.

Want your color touched up?”

“No, darlin’. That’s sweet of you, but I came to ask a favor.”

“You got it. Need a ride somewhere?”

“Nothing like that. I want to know if you’ll let me borrow your shop for a couple of hours Friday night. I want to have a party and I don’t want to use the Peaceful Oasis club room.”

“How come? Don’t tell me they charge you for using it.”

“Naw, they don’t charge. I just don’t want to have to invite the whole damn place to my party. Half the ones you don’t invite get mad and pout, the other half just shows up anyway. It’s a losing situation. Like my love life.”

“That’s swell, honey. It’ll be seven o’clock. Say, why don’t you and Edwina come? I’m trying to win a trip to Branson. I get a point for every dollar you spend on stuff.”

“I thought you’d been to Branson, Maudeen.”

“Yes, but I went on the bus with a group from the home. This is a trip for two on an airplane and we get a fancy hotel room. I’d like to have some privacy with my boyfriend, if you know what I mean?” She winked a wrinkled eyelid.
