Chapter 3
Godiva grumbled as she paced around the room, “You know
what, Angel? Goldie’s getting craftier in her old age and I don’t
think I like it. How did she manage to trick me into going to that
Godforsaken place? Wait till I spring this on Caesar.”
“Oh, come on, Boss. Goldie didn’t trick you. She just played
on your sympathy a little. It would never enter her mind to manipulate people the way you do.”
“Angel, I do not manipulate people. I use tactical reasoning
and the power of persuasion.”
“Well, I don’t think you’ll need to use much of that on
Caesar. Alaska’s an exciting place. I bet he’d love to go.”
Godiva glared at Angel. “That’s only because he’s never been
to Goldie’s house. It’s claustrophobic, boring, and there’s no
escape from Juneau, no road out of there.”
“But it’s so romantic! He’ll get to spend time with you away
from the pressures of Hollywood, and you’ll get a rest from
writing your column. Trust me, it’ll be fun.”
“Right. We’ll both work our butts off to get ahead of our
schedules so we can take the trip, and then we’ll be stuck in that
little attic room of hers, pounced on by her outlandish motherin-law and all of her goofy friends. Yeah, it’ll be a blast.”
“Oh, cheer up. Goldie’s going to Seattle, and you know how
happy that will make Flossie and Sterling. Your sister does so
much for everyone, don’t make such a big deal about doing
something for her.”
Godiva shrugged her shoulders. “By the way, sounds like
there was quite a bit of excitement up there.”
Angel pushed up her glasses. “Well, from what you told me
when someone robs a candy store it’s front page news. So what
happened?”
