Jake Randolph, Private Investigator Pt. 67
I saw the spark in her eye when I said the word "fiancée." She knew an interesting story was coming, even if she didn't know that it was as fictitious as that ridiculous book she'd been devouring.
I pulled my handkerchief out and dabbed my eyes. I hated being deceitful, but it was necessary in this business.
"What about your fiancée, dear?" she asked, wishing I would get on with the narrative.
"Well, we're due to be married in a few weeks."
She smiled, " That's wonderful, darling. So what's the problem?"
"We may have to call off the honeymoon."

Indeed, Neville!
Thank you, Anna Maria. I know Jake Randolph pretty well and I'm quite sure he would be a sucker for you as well, my dear.

Thank you, Anna. I appreciate your kind words, my dear. I'm so glad you're enjoying it. The next few drabbles after he gets out of the DMV are going to start revealing what this is all about.
