" Like what?" Well, there's a lot of things I've been wanting for my kitchen. And my TV is shitty, It would be nice to have a color TV. It would also ...e nice to have a vacuum cleaner. And, of course, I need to start getting a wardrobe of girl's clothes, like Allie has." Well, I'll tell you what, Jill. When we finish eating, let's go to the mall, and get you all those things. Because now... girl... you can fucking afford it!"Jill starts to giggle. Allie giggles with her. Pretty soon, they're. We'll just park the wagon in one of my barns and run your mules with the rest of my stock if it suits you. When you need 'em just let me know and I'll get the wagon hitched and brought into town for you." That will work fine if you're sure it's all right." Of course it is.

Maybe next time?”Even though Sue had been the one to ask if I was okay with it, I could see the disappointment in her face. She started to. ‘I didn’t thank you. Perhaps I could take you for afternoon tea?’ Oh yeah, Jasmine-scented tea and stale scones served with cake forks and white lace table napkins? It’s was an offer begging to be declined with a gruff no thanks, instead Nash heeded a signal from his brain and accepted, thinking it was an opportunity to find out more about the Chevy. ‘Jump in Mr…?’ ‘Carson, but call me Nash.’ ‘My goodness, what an unusual first name,’ she said, introducing herself as Hope Honeybun. Nash didn’t.
