No one has participated in the
Show and Tell Meme yet. Woe! It's easy. Just post a few lines of whatever in-progress fic you have going on currently.
Here I'll go first:
Don Lamb is still the sheriff, and he looks supremely pleased when he comes to take Grace to foster care. He accompanies the social worker himself and gives her father a look that nearly makes Meg’s blood freeze in her veins.
She never does figure out how he knew. Maybe it just takes one to know one.
Meg’s lawyer sends a process server to her parent’s front door the next day. They are thoroughly floored. They might have expected Lizzie to pull something like this, but not Meg. She is, after all, the good one.
Patience is one of the virtues her parents tried so hard to teach them all. This day has been a long time coming.
Sheriff Lamb is at her door when she gets home that afternoon.
He’s not a good man. He’s arrogant, mean-spirited and completely humorless.
Meg lets him buy her dinner anyway.
They go to this kitschy Chinese place in the Gaslamp, and he orders them dim sum and a pair of Tsing Taos.
It’s entirely inappropriate, being there together. But they’re from Neptune, where ‘inappropriate’ is pretty much the watchword.
