Not Quite Right (A Lowcountry Mystery) (Lowcountry Mysteries Book 6) - Plot & Excerpts
He’s wearing a clean pair of track pants and a thin, long-sleeved Heron Creek High School Baseball shirt that he had in his gym bag. The shirt, at least, looks as though it might have survived since his days walking the halls. His cheeks turn red when I tease him about it. “I’ve been coaching the baseball team. On the side.” There’s nothing to do but shake my head. I’ve lost count of Leo’s jobs, but this one seems to suit him. The boys probably think he’s awesome. “Um, maybe I’ll run to the hardware store,” he says after taking one look at the mess of the journals on the table. “You’re not going to read with me?” I raise my eyebrows. “Can you read, Leo?” He grabs his belly, issuing a fake silent laugh at my teasing. “I can, but…I don’t know. I’m better with my hands.” For some reason, the kitchen feels hot all of a sudden. Maybe he doesn’t need to go to the store at all, since the heat seems to be working now. I wave him off and he grabs his coat, checks his pocket for his wallet, then gives me a salute before heading back toward the foyer.
