Sherryl Woods - Angel Mine

“If not at work, where? You haven’t been by Henrietta’s in days. She’s about to send out a search party.”

“I’ll get by sooner or later.”

“She’s worried about you. Worse than that, she’s blaming me because you’re staying away. She’s figured out what’s going on, Todd. I didn’t say a word. She’s seen us together, knows we’ve known each other longer than a few days. All it took was a good long look at Angel for her to figure out the rest.”

“That’s all I need,” Todd muttered. “Henrietta’s like a pit bull once she gets a notion in her head.”

“Then stop by and ease her mind.”

“Okay, okay. I’ll make it sooner rather than later.”

When she didn’t take that as his final word and simply go away, he jammed his hands in his pockets and stared at her. “What? Is there something else you wanted?”
