章 56: Chapter 56: A Familiar Client

The New Year took off quickly with Michael’s caseload piling up.  Which, I suppose, is better than the alternative, he thought.  Amy made for an efficient second.  She was thorough and attentive to detail.  But she was also about as much fun to talk to as a bowl of lukewarm oatmeal.  Plus, she was married, hurrying home to the hubby every evening.  She was no Maggie.

He thought about Maggie from time to time, and heard through the grapevine that she was doing very well working for Rance.  According to those in the know, she won the majority of her cases, a fact that didn’t actually surprise him. He hadn’t talked to her since Christmas, but he glimpsed her occasionally at the courthouse.  Her red hair always made her stand out from the crowd.
