Excerpt from Secret Voices by Lynn Donovan:
No Word from Clifford
At six o’clock Keisha pulled left-over muffins from the display
case and sacked them up for the freezer. Clifford hadn’t called or texted all day. A gnawing sensation burned in
her stomach. Where was he? She scanned the street through the bakery’s plate-glass windows. Every call to his cell phone had
gone to his voice mail. Another call to the office itself reached the new
receptionist, Gloria, who had seen him come in after his morning classes, but
hadn’t seen him since. But of course,
according to Clifford, she was so overwhelmed learning his old job, Santa Claus
could have come in and she probably wouldn’t have noticed. Keisha had asked for
his voice mail and left a message.
An empty feeling
stayed with her as she locked the front door and exited out the back.
Deidre’s voice sounded muffled and
sing-song. An eye for an eye. A tooth for a tooth. Tit for tat and all of
that.
What?
Are you drunk, Deidre?
Keisha drove home without the radio on. She wanted to be able to hear her phone
chime when Clifford called.
How
could I be drunk?
Don’t know. How can you talk to me in the
first place?
Point
taken.
Somebody
needs to shut up! Abbie
jeered in a sing-song imitation.
She’ll figure it out eventually, Deidre replied back but still in the
sing-song tone.
It’s not your place! Abbie sang.
“What?”
Keisha turned onto her street.
Silence.
“What will I figure out eventually?”
Silence.
“You guys make me so mad, sometimes.” Keisha shoved the front door open and stomped into her
house. This was another gift from Rose after she married Zeke, the deed to Rose’s parent’s house. Keisha let her purse drop onto the bench in the
mud room, the entry area of the house, and hung up her coat. Glancing at her
phone again, with no text reply or missed calls, she decided to call Pastor V.
