Nobody did anything he said ever again.
Later, Hector asked me the question I’d been asking myself for a month. Why would a man tow away the one truck that was keeping his secret?
I think it’s because Grant never saw a truck. He saw an eyesore. Men like Grant spend their whole lives looking right past whoever is doing the work.
What the Neighbors Voted
Hector made a motion to remove Grant as president, effective immediately. Irene seconded it from her recliner. It passed nineteen to nothing, with Grant and Gina not voting. They voted to freeze the HOA account and hire an outside accountant for an audit, and to put the whole thing in front of the county attorney if the money wasn’t repaid in full.
Then Jill Lindgren, who has twin boys and had filmed me plowing on her phone, raised her hand and said, “And we vote that Section 7.4 doesn’t apply to Loretta’s truck. Ever.”
