CHAPTER 15

Marty’s hands were shaking as she pulled out of the circular driveway after her meeting with Mrs. Ramsey. She looked at the clock on the dashboard and realized she had quite a bit of time before her appointment at the salon with Brett. She was trying to figure out where she should have lunch when she remembered that John had told her where the Red Pony food truck would be at lunchtime, and if she had a little time, to stop by and see him while she was in Palm Springs. She drove to the street he’d mentioned and easily saw it.

She stood in the long line of people who were ordering food at the Red Pony for quite a while, checking the messages on her phone as she waited. When her turn came, John looked out at her and said, “Marty, I don’t think you’ve ever eaten at the Pony. Glad I told you where I’d be today when we were both leaving this morning. What can I get for you?”

“Surprise me, John. Whatever you serve me, I’m sure it will make my stomach happy.”

“You’re putting a lot of pressure on me. Let’s see. Okay, I’ve got it. How does lasagna with some garlic bread sound? I made a couple of pans of it. It’s almost gone, but there’s enough left for you. Sound okay?”

“Sounds better than okay. No wonder there’s such a long line waiting to eat here.” She turned around and saw that the line behind her was as long as the one in front of her had been when she arrived. A few moments later John handed her a large paper plate with a steaming serving of lasagna with garlic bread.

“Looks delicious. Thanks.” She handed him a five dollar bill and said, “Put the change in the tip jar, and thanks.”

“Thank you. I hate to take your money, but there might be a riot on my hands if someone saw that I didn’t take money from you, but I was taking money from everyone else.”

“Thanks again, John. See you tonight.” Marty took her food over to one of the portable picnic tables John had set out in front of the Pony. She spent the next few minutes thoroughly enjoying her lunch and congratulating herself for having thought to eat lunch at the popular food truck. Since she still had some time on her hands before her hair appointment, she decided to call Sybil and see how she was doing.

“You’ve reached the offices of Dr. Ramsey and Dr. Thurston. May I help you?” the voice that answered the phone asked.

“Yes, I’d like to speak with Sybil. Please tell her Marty Morgan-Combs is on the line.”

The voice put her on hold, and a few moments later she heard Sybil’s voice. “Marty, how nice of you to call. I assume you’re not asking me to Armando’s for lunch, since it’s a little after the lunch hour.”

“That’s very true, and I’m glad to hear what sounds like a little smile in your voice today.
