First You Fall: A Kevin Connor Mystery - Plot & Excerpts
“What the hel ?” I shouted. “Honey,” my mother said cheerily. “I was just looking for where you keep the food.” Welcome, Hurricane Momma. For one blissful moment, I had forgotten about my new roommate. “I don’t keep any food,” I groaned. “Toast?” “Toast is food.” “Coffee?” “Nope.” “How about some tea?” “I have protein powder, milk, and bananas.” “Maybe some eggs?” “Am I going to have to get out of bed?” “You’re not in bed,” my mother reminded me. “You’re on the couch. And yes, you have to get up. Momma’s going to take you out to breakfast at that greasy spoon on the corner. You know, breakfast is a very important meal. The most important of the day, I always say.

After our breakfast, my mother and I went our separate ways: She to the beauty parlor she runs in Hauppauge, Long Island, I to my apartment to change.
