The Winterly’s
Not long after Nicholas left to find a truck, and to Curtis’ surprise …
Peter and Adele Winterly came popping around the corner of the house.
In pure Adele Winterly style … She took no time in going off on Curtis.

Adele
”Lord Child … What in the world have you gotten yourself into with this nasty mess of a place?
Don’t tell me you have anything to do with those plum drug dealers that were up in here.
Don’t you be getting yourself in any trouble young man …
I will still put you over my knee.”
Curtis could not help but chuckle at Adele’s antics.
He was completely surprised to see the two of them.
He had helped their son with homework a few times …
but had not expected them to really care enough to show up.
Curtis
”Peter, Adele … What a pleasant surprise.
I would invite you inside, but the place is a wreck and the rats still own the bathroom.
How did you find out I was … “
Peter Winterly took the opportunity to interrupt and clear things up about that.

”Son … You ought to know by now Adele has her ways.
The two of us invited Nicholas over to the house two nights ago, and she sniffed out something was up.
She waved a plate with a big fat slice of her key lime pie under his nose …
It wasn’t a minute later and he was singing like a canary.
That boy didn’t have a chance …
I’ve seen stronger men break in the face of Adele’s key lime pie.
Heck, I married her.”

”We won’t take up too much of your time …
But the two of us couldn’t pass up the chance to stop by and welcome you back to Hidden Springs.
We both thought what BlackSand Industries did to you and Susan was wrong.
Taking all your money … Like they don’t have enough.
I was going to give them a call and let them have a piece of my mind …
but those sorry individuals don’t care.
Like I said, we’ll get out of your hair, looks like you got some work to do.
Don’t be a stranger though …
There’s a lot of people who feel the same way we do, and you might be surprised about our community.
Thanks for giving us another chance.”

”Well thanks for stopping by, and I cannot express how much it means to me.
Adele … I promise I have nothing to with any of the people who lived here before.
I asked Nicholas not to say anything because I was unsure about what the people here thought.
Y’all have helped me see that coming back here might not have been a bad choice.
I’ll be around and keep in touch …
I’ll stay out of trouble too.”
The three of them traded some more pleasantries before the couple made a strategic exit …
long before Nicholas returned with a truck.
Curtis did manage to overhear their conversation as they were leaving.
Peter
”Adele, I swear that is your old car over there.
Lord have mercy, it could tell some stories about the two of us running the roads way back then.”
Adele
”If you know what’s good for you … You better hush.
And I think there’s still some key lime pie left in the fridge.”
