“Is Grandma Colleen still mad at us?”
“She called twice on Tuesday asking me to drop the criminal complaint,” I said.
“I told her the grand jury in Columbus will make up its own mind about the forged signatures on the loan.”

“I like the new house keys better,” she said, leaning her shoulder lightly against my hip as she worked.
“The old ones always got stuck when you tried to turn them in the dark.”
