As for Steve, he gave me a smile that was pure evil. "Lemme tell you about mom and Bob."
Caught off guard, I shook my head. "Bob?"
"Yeah," Steve said. "The appliance guy." His smile widened. "You know that counter by mom's fridge? Well, I wouldn't be making your sandwiches there, if you know what I mean."
Oh.
Sadly, Ididknow what he meant, and not because of anything he'd told me. "Oh, my God," I said. "She told you?"
Steve and Anthony shared a look. After a long moment, Anthony said, "She toldyou?"
I shuddered. "Unfortunately."
"Shit," Steve muttered. "The way it sounds, she told everyone."
From somewhere behind him, a familiar male voice said, "Hey, she didn't tellme."
