The only remaining pairs were my Monday and Thursday panties. I opted for the Monday pair, slipped them on, and finished dressing. As Alicia took her shower shortly thereafter, I snuck into my guest room and looked around for her jewelry. I found it in a small case on top of the dresser. She often wore a gold birthstone ring her grandmother had bought for her birthday years before. I rummaged around in the case until I found it and slid it into a small cardboard box that had earlier contained a pair of costume jewelry earrings I’d picked up at the mall. I went downstairs, slid the box into the inside pocket of my purse, and zipped the pocket safely closed. My petty theft now completed, I wandered into the kitchen to make coffee. I found a brand-new canister in the pantry, between a fresh loaf of bread and a large can of organic tomato soup. Alicia had been grocery shopping again, God bless her. Now if I could just convince her to do my laundry before she moved back in with Daniel … Alicia wandered down a few minutes later while I was feeding my cats.
