Chapter 72
“Don’t be catty, Angela,” Ken said. “She can’t help it if she’s not quite as down-to-earth as you are.”
“Don’t get me wrong,” Angela said. “If that’s what turns her on, more power to her.”
“Chris told me what she said when you and she came over to see our house,” Mickey said.
“What was that?” she said. “I don’t really remember.”
“Something about living in Ortega Forest, which is across the tracks from the most desirable neighborhood in the city.”
“That’s our Marge,” she said. “Despite Andy’s success in life, she’s just a bit insecure, which makes her worry too much about keeping up appearances.”
“You mean like Hyacinth Bucket in the Britcom?” Chris said.
Recalling the Britcom brought a smile to Angela’s face. “She’s nowhere near that bad, but yes, she does worry too much about such things.”
The conversation became more general until their meal was finished. While their dessert was being served, Ken asked Mickey if they could have a private conversation.
