The Perfect Coed (Oak Grove Mysteries Book 1) - Plot & Excerpts
Atwater arrived about five o’clock. “Susan,” he said, approaching the couch where she still sat, “so good of you to let me come by at a time like this.” Susan was taken back. He had the shoe on the wrong foot. It was good of him to come by, but she didn’t know how to say that. And she was afraid, knowing what he’d come to say, she’d break down and cry any minute. “Jake wants to share some of his bourbon with you,” she said as lightly as she could. Jake made the introductions between Dr. Atwater and Aunt Jenny, who eyed him with suspicion. Then Jake poured shots of bourbon neat for himself and the provost and Chardonnay for Susan. “Aunt Jenny?” he asked. She shook her head. “Jake Phillips, you’re trying to make an alcoholic of me. Bourbon in the middle of the day.” Dr. Atwater looked startled, and Susan, upset as she was, giggled. “Did you really, Jake?” He nodded to indicate he really had given the older woman bourbon in the middle of the day. But he didn’t add that it had helped calm her down.
