Ice-Cream Headache (2011)
“There was nobody there except one deputy in the sheriff’s office and the usual handful of loiterers out on the steps. The boy had already paid his fine and left with his girl. Mr Philips and Mr Ohls, they told him, had gone right back to Fandalack. He had not passed Philips and Ohls driving in, so he figured they must have stopped off somewhere to have a couple of beers before going back. It was hot work there, at the Park.
He drove very fast going back to the cabin. She was already gone. The s...heets were gone off the beds and the curtains she had put up had been taken down. The place already had that fusty vacated smell in it. It was the same smell that had been there when he moved in. The salad bowl was still sitting on the sideboard with the spoon in the uneaten salad. He started packing his own stuff. She had not taken the extra food she had brought up for him. He packed it too. There would not be enough money left to go to Michigan now, but he could take a cabin at Lake Lawler for a month on the refund from the Park.MoreLess
