Libro R is for Ricochet. Reba Lafferty was a daughter of privilege, the only child of an adoring father. Nord Lafferty was already in his fifties when Reba was born, and he could deny her nothing. Over the years, he quietly settled her many scrapes with the law, but he wasn’t there for her when she was convicted of embezzlement and sent to the California Institution for Women. Now, at thirty-two, she is about to be paroled, having served twenty-two months of a four-year sentence. Nord Lafferty wants to be sure she stays straight, stays at home and away from the drugs, the booze, the gamblers.» «It seems a straightforward assignment for Kinsey: babysit Reba until she settles in, make sure she follows all the rules of her parole. Maybe all of a week’s work. Nothing untoward – the woman seems remorseful and friendly. And the money is good.» But life is never that simple, and Reba is out of prison less than twenty-four hours when one of her old crowd comes circling round. Libro R is for Ricochet.
Jimmy –
I finally understand why Beauty was willing to fuck the Beast. (That was the deal right? I mean, she was willing to go there, wasn’t she? She didn’t know he was going to turn into a human.)
You get trapped in a horrifying, dirty, smelly cell and you’re horrified. But, after a while, you get used to the smell (like cat-owners must because they can’t possibly think we don’t smell that they have a box of shit in their house when we walk in the door. Seriously. I’ve NEVER been surprised when someone’s cat walked into the room. NEVER.), and then you start to think maybe a few throw pillows is all that cell needs. Next thing you know, you are inviting friends to your pad for fondue and game night.
In other words, you get used to things.
