Love Finds You In Victory Heights, Washington - Plot & Excerpts
The group had gobbled down Lanie’s grits, perfectly fried chicken, and homemade apple pie—delicious despite the tiny amount of sugar rations she used. And then Miss Tilly said she needed to “rest these old bones,” asking Kenny to accompany her home. By the time Rosalie had returned to her apartment, she also needed to rest her bones—they felt tired and sore too. But it hadn’t worked; she hadn’t slept much. Instead, she engaged in an imaginary midair dogfight in her weary state. Her attraction to Kenny’s warm sincerity, sense of humor, and thought-provoking conversations battled against her preconceived repugnance to reporters. Even though the sun now beamed through the windows, Rosalie’s body felt weary enough to remain in bed for another eight hours. Since that wasn’t possible, she stretched, kicking off her wadded-up blankets and sheets, and gazed over at her friend. Birdie lay curled in a little ball, her back toward Rosalie, and Rosalie wondered if she were awake or still sleeping.
