SUMMARY
Отрывок из книги
July 6th 2003, Dallas, Texas.
It was a beautiful, clear summer’s morning in Dallas. Katie Johnson was off to town for a pedicure at her regular nail salon, and to pick up a few things for her wedding anniversary party that coming Saturday night. If the weather held, and there was no guarantee that it would at this time of the year, the plan was to start with a barbecue and then move the party indoors when it got dark. Or the alternative plan was to go with the flow. If the party was in full swing outside they would just stick with it and only change things up if it was going off the boil. There were a number of people invited who, although they all got on well with the Johnsons, there were also several personality clashes between invitees. Katie could always put her husband on peacemaker duty. Usually he was able to pacify a situation before it boiled over into a verbal assault. The trouble was that if he drank too much he could often cause trouble rather than prevent it. Indeed, there had been occasions where he would take sides with one of the antagonists, which could only make the situation worse. The women often found this amusing as they knew what guys were like and could all relate to it.

At lunch Katie was uncharacteristically quiet, Robert noted. Usually she was chatty about some of the universal gossip she had picked up during her appointment.
“A penny for ‘em,” said her husband, looking up from the menu.
