The car pulls up. The “officer” opens the door for me, and I climb out. I know Megan and Anthony are burning to find out what is happening, and I need to know that Clara and Margaret are safe, but I can’t make contact just yet.
“Oh, thank goodness you are okay!” Clifford hugs me as soon as I step into the front door. I push him back, looking at his ridiculous get-up.
“What’s this?” I wave at him from head to toe.
“Oh, yes, well, uhm, after you said that I looked stuffy I realized that I wasn’t blending in. So, I went to the mall and bought some clothes that will make me, uhm, look more local.” Grinning, he looks like a total i***t! I have no idea what I ever saw in him!
“You look like an overdressed tourist.” It slipped out. I guess I am more tired than I’m willing to admit.
