Melody welcomed me and then laughed when I told her what my newest job entailed. She stopped laughing when I told her some of how things had gone thus...far. It was easier telling her what a wimp I had been, since another woman already knew. Odd how that can be, huh? Then I asked her if she could give me some advice on how to get a judge to order Madeline to turn over the skates."That's complicated," she said frowning."What you mean is that it would take too much time to do for free," I.
