Re: Anyway, it had been a slow month. A slow pair of months, actually. My rent from February didn’t get paid until the tenth of March, and it was looking like it might be even longer until I got caught up for this month. mid Chapter One [sorry, epubs only right now], and It was cool and windy, like it usually is in March, and she wore a long coat that covered her pantsuit. from the beginning of Chapter Two.
