I'm preparing to go back to work on a book I stopped working on in 2017, reading the previous book to get my mind into the 'world'. I loved this passage...
“So how are you taking retirement?” I asked as she pulled to the exit.
“Never been so bored in my life,” she said. “Maybe you want to liven things up and attract another stalker.”
I laughed out loud. That was more a Rollins crack, not a sweet, Belinda Aguilar Ruud comment.
“She can laugh,” Mother mumbled.
“So maybe moving back to Ohio would be good for you,” I said.
“Ah. We pull you from the morgue, coddle you hand and foot, and now you’re ready to kick us to the curb.”
“Just you,” I said. “Dad can stay another week. I love him.”
She cackled. She liked that one.
