Lechance

( Dear sir: )

Friday morning - not too early, to give Delilah a chance to settle in for the day, but not late because he didn't want to waste time when he could be doing something with the promise of money at the end of it - Patrick strolled down Main Street, paused a moment to survey the front of Delilah's premises, then stepped up to the door and rapped smartly.

He was smiling. He had to confess to himself, he'd been very much looking forward to seeing Delilah again, and it wasn't just because of the offer of a job.
