Then I met Linda.
“Oh, you have company.” Linda looked me up and down, then tilted her head. “This is the woman you told me about?”
Arthur nodded. “This is Caroline. Caroline, my daughter, Linda.”
“A pleasure to meet you,” Linda said, holding out her hand, but nothing about her suggested she meant the words.
Later, Arthur said, “She’s just protective. It’s been only us for a long time.”
I believed him. Why wouldn’t I?
