"I understand, Dee." She gave me a sympathetic smile, but I knew all her facial expressions, so I didn't buy it. "I'm sorry about tricking you. And I do want to talk, just not today. I've got to get rid of this stuff and take it to my locker. Can you come by tomorrow evening? We can catch up then."

Something was definitely going on beneath the surface here. But I was willing to come back tomorrow and find out. Why not? I was already here, and Bea didn't seem too mad with me. Tomorrow we'd be able to talk and-hopefully-I'd get to know her better. Also, I had a small twinge of nostalgia for my old friends and my former haunts, so I didn't mind a day out here to wander around.

"Okay, see you tomorrow." Before leaving, I checked my watch and the contents of my purse to be sure she hadn't stolen anything. Some mother!
