The
Blueberry Hill Pancake House
parking
lot
on
the East side
of
town
is
where
I
picked up
my
laptop
from
the forensic
specialist,
plus
the flashdrive
of
Lydea and
her
girlfriends,
the
pornographic
clips
my
husband
the
pastor
had
downloaded
onto
my computer
six
days before
he
sent the letter
to
his congregation
promising
with
confidence
that
there is
nothing
scandalous
about
our
divorce.
