“How about this? Whenever you find out just how good of a neighbor he is, give me a call and say ‘pinochle.’ Repeat it three times if he’s good and once if he’s not. Then hang up and I’ll call you back for the dirty details.” I snort out loud. I’ve never seen her act like this. “Mama, you can’t be serious.” She pins me with a stare, so I know she is. “We got a deal?” “Deal.”
