CHAPTER 49: A DARK SIDE
"Hi."
"Hi, Sweetheart. You going out?"
"Just to meet Adrian for coffee. Bye."
"Who's Adrian?"
"Remember the plumber who was here the other day?"
"Yeah? He doesn't seem like her type."
"You mean because he doesn't have a ring through his nose or crop circles shaved into his hair?"
"What happened to the guy who only ate wild rice and dandelion greens?"
"Oh, he had to move when winter came. Frankly, I'm just happy Margaret has finally found someone normal."
"He seems nice enough."
"Not to mention cute."
"Cute? I never knew you noticed cute."
"You'd be surprised, dear. I'm not just the bland silly housewife everyone thinks I am. I have my deep dark secrets."
"The next thing I know you're going to tell me you don't really bake your pie crusts from scratch. No! So that's how it is! All this time you've been letting me believe....? Well, you are a naughty one."
"Having a dark side makes me more interesting, don't you think?"
"Relatively speaking. Relatively speaking."
