Alexis And The Missing Ingredient - Plot & Excerpts
I would never have discovered her because there is no way I would have gone in there on my own. I am pretty brave when it comes to making contact with new people (I will always pick up a phone to make a call or whatever), but there is no way on Earth I would have gone down into this spooky little place. As it turned out, neither had Mr. Cruz, originally. He’d been at a friend’s party at a belly dance–themed restaurant nearby when Madame Khalil had arrived by prearrangement to read palms. She’d handed out business cards with hand maps on the reverse sides that showed how to find your lifeline and stuff, and Mia had been so enchanted when she’d seen it later at his apartment that Mr. Cruz had made an appointment and brought her. I liked the idea of a palm reader with a good head for marketing and who also kept to a schedule. We were off to a good start, Madame Khalil and I, even though I am not at all one for these touchy-feely kinds of nonsense. On our way, when Mia had asked who wanted to go first, I felt the need to redeem myself from the sashimi debacle, so I volunteered.
