Apple Pie A La Murder – Kathleen Suzette (1)

Poor Martha. Just like Henry, she hadn’t come into the computer age, and probably never would. “I see,” she said absently. “I have been feeling so tired lately.” “I’m sorry. I know this whole thing has had me exhausted, too. I shouldn’t keep you,” I said and stood up. “Martha, is there anything else I can get you or do for you? I’d be happy to help.” “No, dear, I’m fine. But, I suppose, if you wouldn’t mind, perhaps someday you’d come by, and we can talk about our husbands?

You know, just to keep one another company?” I had to choke back the lump forming in my throat. “Of course, Martha. I would love to do that.” How had I not thought to check in on her before? I knew her husband had died several years ago, and other than attending the funeral, I hadn’t offered her a bit of support. I felt terrible about that. “It must have been hard, working at Henry’s after your husband died there.” “It was, but Henry was so good to me.

I don’t know what I would have done without him,” she said, smiling sweetly. “It’s good to have friends help you through hard times,” I said. She carefully got to her feet, and I offered her a steadying hand. “I do appreciate the pie so much. I don’t bake anymore now that it’s just me and Tiny,” she said and shuffled her way with me to the door.

“I’m happy to bring it to you. It doesn’t freeze as well as some of my pies, but it will keep a few days in the refrigerator,” I said. “I bake frequently, so I’ll drop back by and bring you something else, and we can have that talk. Oh, let me give you one of my business cards.

You can call me whenever you’d like.” I dug through my purse and found one of the business cards I used for my blog and gave it to her, then hugged her on my way out the door. I really needed to form some sort of support group locally. Lots of the elderly were without their spouses and loved ones, and it had to be lonely for them.

I made a mental note to come up with a plan to help with that. 1kitap1.com/en Chapter Ten The sun was rising later in the mornings these days and I decided I needed to allow myself to sleep in thirty minutes later the next day. The running trail was lit, but I wasn’t comfortable running in the dark anymore.

You never knew if the crazies were hiding behind the bushes along the trail. I’m talking about the regular town crazies. And now there was also a murderer on the loose. My feet echoed in the silent early morning air as they hit the paved trail.
