The Crate in the Parking Lot
Teddy did the second one.
It took twenty-four minutes.
The reception was in the long white building.
Dinner at six, toasts at six-forty.
At six o’clock a man in a short-sleeved shirt with a folder arrived in the lower parking lot and stood by the gravel, and Manny’s cousin, who was doing the parking, went to see what he wanted.
At 6:04 Odile came out of that building in a wedding dress, walked down a gravel slope in the heat, and talked to Dwight the process server for about four minutes.
Then she gave him an envelope and shook his hand, and he got in his car and left, and she stood in the lower parking lot on her own for about thirty seconds and then walked back up.
