Finding Her Rhythm
Chapter One
“So what you’re saying is that instead of kissing a frog to get a prince I’m supposed
to kiss a pooch?” Stella spoke into the phone cradled between face and shoulder as she
organized the stack of file folders on her kitchen table in the order she needed to go
through them.
The remark hit a bit too close to home for comfort. It was the kind of thing her
parents might have said, and Stella had studiously avoided following any kind of
advice or even suggestion that followed the line her parents would have taken. She’d
spent a decade trying not to be like them.
“That’s a bit fanciful for my taste,” she said into the phone. “I do find it extremely
odd that every time I turn around he’s there. This morning he was waiting on the front
porch for me with a newspaper in his mouth. Not mine, mind you— it was lying on the
porch. I’m going to have to call animal control. I can’t have people thinking I’m a thief.”
As Stella listened to her friend Fenny on the phone, another sound intruded from
the front room. The sound of her name being yelled.
“Stella? Stella!”
Stella closed her briefcase and set it on the floor then rose. “Dee’s here. Bellowing
like a bull in heat…yes, I guess he is rubbing off on her. Talk to you later.”
Just as Stella was putting the phone down, Delilah entered the room, her hands full
of mail. “Did you know your porch is littered with…” she paused to look at the name
on one of the envelopes, “Randall Dexter’s mail?”
Stella pointed across the kitchen. “It’s him.”
Delilah’s eyes widened as she spotted the dog lying on the floor in front of the back
door. “Holy shit! Where’d he come from?”
