Velma drove Norville back to his car parked at the cemetery. The rain had largely abated and was nothing more than a heavy mist. Norville prepared to retrieve his spare key from beneath the car.
“Can you hold this a minute,” Velma asked, practically shoving the pizza box full of leftover pizza into his hands and reaching into the back of the Jeep.
Before he could figure out what to say she had already slim-jimmed his door open and replaced the tool back in the Jeep.
Norville stood there, dumbfounded.
“If you could do that, why didn’t you do it earlier?”
“It was raining earlier, and besides, you looked like you could use a bit to eat,” she said, smiling as she wiped the mist from her glasses.
“I guess I owe you one,” said Norville, smiling.
“I guess you do,” Velma smiled back as she got into the Jeep “so go talk to Daphne!”
Velma put the Jeep in gear and pulled away, waving goodbye.
Norville wasn’t smiling anymore.
