At a table closest to the door, three people sat: a short, bald man, and two women. The
first had her blonde hair arranged in an elaborate style and lacquered into place by a liberal dose
of hair spray. She winced a little but had her head tilted in the direction of a wiry woman whose
lips were moving.
“This is how it works, Lola,” the woman explained while gesturing to the dancers. “The
man calls out the moves for the dancers, then they have to do what he tells them to do.”
“Eunice,” Lola sighed and managed an eye roll at the same time, “I know how square-
dancing works. This isn’t my first encounter, you know.”
“Ha!” Eunice tossed her head, bouncing her gray-threaded curls. “I figured that being a
former Vegas showgirl, your extent of dancing involved teetering around on high heels, waving
feather fans.”
The man sitting with them coughed, earning a sympathetic glance from Lola. “You okay,
Gus? Need some water?”
He met her gaze, then shook his head as he pushed up to standing. “Think I’ll go back to
my room and get some water.”
Both women watched Gus leave, then Eunice leaned closer to say, “He has no clue what
you said. He’s already hard of hearing, but with…” She gestured to a nearby speaker. “…the
music blasting, he doesn’t hear a word.”
While the music may have a few residents tapping their toes, it did nothing for those who
could hear. Lola pursed her lips and wrinkled her nose before speaking. “You’d think they’re
trying to deafen the rest of us. I’m leaving, too.” Lola reached for her walker and stood. She
glanced back over her shoulder to address Eunice’s earlier comment. “Showgirl routines are
choreographed. Some of it is quite complicated. We certainly never needed someone yelling
instructions on a microphone.”
Eunice gave a derisive sniff. Even though both she and Lola were part of Senior Sleuths,
a covert group within the center that solved cold cases, it was still fun to poke at the woman.
After all, what woman wouldn’t feel a little uncomfortable around a former showgirl. Getting the
aged blonde riled up evened the playing field, especially considering Eunice’s skinny form and
acerbic nature didn’t make her popular with the opposite gender. Thank goodness for Gus, who
had been waiting for a forceful woman to take charge of him.
Making friends was not something Eunice did easily. Her father once told her she should
laugh at the other children’s jokes and occasionally compliment them on something they did. He
also told her to be honest at all times. Talk about a paradox. It was hard to be honest and popular.
Eventually, she settled on being honest and helpful, even when the help wasn’t wanted. Was it
too late to change her ways? Better yet, did she want to?
One of the lady dancers, whose colorful skirt stood out with its multitude of petticoats,
interrupted Eunice’s reflections and invited her to join in. Someone had deliberately picked her.
Woo hoo! She jumped up and tried to ignore that most of the other attendees were in
wheelchairs. That had nothing to do with them picking her. Obviously, the dancer recognized in
Eunice a born square dancer.
