Chapter 18 Dexter Little miss congeniality doesnt answer my calls .
I shouldve known .
The store numbers practically my main contact now , but whenever I call , the kids that answer say shes not in , shes not available , shes gone to the Mojave Desert to go fly fishing .
Excuses , excuses .
Theyre not even trying .
The one time she did answer , she cut the call off before I said three words .
I should be flattered that my voice is so distinctive , but its mostly just a royal pain in my ass .

Just like her .
Who did I piss off in a past life to get so lucky ? If I couldve asked any other woman in this city to be my not fiancée , I would have .
At least some random ass woman off the streets more susceptible to flashing dollar signs wouldnt ignore my calls .
Ive met women .
I know how to handle them .
This lady , however , is something else entirely .
Not in a flattering way .
Not in a shes the one Id take home to mom kind of way .
Not even in an I want to fuck her brains out way .
If she was stranded on the side of the road with a flat tire , Id have to think long and hard about whether I stopped to help .
Given the fact that she wont speak to me , I turn up at the store again .
I pick midday , when theres a rush .
There are a few people in the queue ahead of me , mostly families with kids looking to satisfy their sweet tooth .
As theyre being served , I watch the teenagers behind the counter .
They really are kids .
Just out of high school , maybe in college .
The boy has zits on his chin and the girl hasnt quite lost the round faced chub of youth .
Theyre polite , though , Ill give them that .
Efficient , too , serving the people ahead of me with orderly movements .
The girls eyes widen the second she sees me .
I barely have enough time to read her name tag .
Emmy .
Hello , Emmy , I say , leaning on the counter and forcing something that resembles a smile .
Im here to see your boss , Miss Winkley .
Emmy swallows and glances over her shoulder to the back , where a mess of red hair is clearly visible through the window .
The doors ajar and looks almost buckled .
Heat and time have really done a number on this place .
Um , youll have to try another day .
Junie Miss Winkley shes not in right now , she says after a second , panic flashing in her eyes .
If theres one thing I hate , its liars trying to save their own asses .
Possibly because its like looking into a mirror .
I hold my fire , knowing if I snap at her , shell probably cry .
Unlike Miss Winkley , who would love to give me a piece of her mind .
Sorry , the boy says , joining the girl at the register .
You heard her , Miss Winkleys not here .
Like hell .
Obviously , theyve been given their orders , and theyre executing them like loyal little minions .
Fine .
16:42 Love Betrayed : A Journey of Separate Pa 19.5 % Chapter 18 Ill come back when shes available , I matter , not bothering with another phony te 111 wait all goddamned day if I need to .
Emmy blinks and the boy Jake , I think his tag says scowls at me .
Is there a better time when shes available ? lack Um , shes been out a lot lately .
Crazy busy the boy calls after me .
Calling might be better .
You might not want to waste another trip Oh , believe me , I want to , I say with a violent wave of my hand .
Until
