УOkay. I want one of them chicken fettuccine ones. Where you at?Ф

УChelseaТs Garage.Ф

Gary groaned, a rumble that came all the way from his toes and
reverberated in my ear. УYou still over there mooning over that car,
Jo?Ф

УI am not mooning!Ф I was mooning. УShe needs work.Ф

УYou need money. And snow tires. And more than six inches of

УItТs arright, Jo.Ф Gary gave me a sly look that from a man a few
decades younger wouldТve had my heart doing flip-flops. УI bet
thereТs a body. You can tell me about it at dinner. You need a ride
home?Ф

УIТll take care of it,Ф Morrison said in a sharp voice. Gary winked at
me, shoved his hands in his pockets, and sauntered back to his
cab, whistling. I choked on a laugh and turned to follow Morrison,
