“Well, she was in a terrible automobile accident. A rib punctured her heart, her shoulder was shattered, and she lost the baby.”
“Oh my fucking word.”
“She’d doing much better.”
“Sam, please give her my regards. Since I’m now a free woman, I’ll ask Sue to bring me to the hospital to see her.”
“She’d like that.”
Sam called Adam Frankel back, “Adam, give her a few minutes, she’s cleaning out the dog kennels.”
“Did you just say dog kennels?”
“That’s exactly what I said. You can ask her about shoveling shit when you call her.”
Shelly was laughing so hard when Sam returned to the room, she started to choke. He looked around and asked what was going on.
Randy told him, “Shelly and Leona were talking about their wedding tutus. Leona offered to make a maternity tutu for Shelly once she got pregnant.”
Sam just shook his head. His life was back on an even keel, and all the women he loved were laughing.
