They rose and headed toward Sherri. That allowed me to spend the rest of the event with Adele. She and Cora would not willingly share a space, but I liked them both. Adele delighted in telling me the details of Kevin’s incarceration to date, as she had heard them, and included some cutting quotes made by his ex-wife.
“I know you might not believe that anyone would ever marry him,” she said, “but he was considered quite a catch when he graduated from high school.”
“People change,” I agreed. “Sometimes you wonder if you really know a person at all.”
“It’s so true.” Adele said.
“Say, I keep meaning to ask you something.”
“What’s that, dear?”
“I never have heard what Cora’s correct last name is.”
Adele smiled, a supercilious smile. “Caulfield,” she said. “She’s the ex Mrs. Jerry Caulfield.”
