. after several momths in moterey , she and her teenage son , bob , had returned to tahoe . sandy whitefeather had returned to her domain in nina's office in the starlake building and was drumming up business before nina had time to put down her cup on the desk /the young woman lawyer who had been handling nina's cases found a law job in reno , and left open fuiles and a busy calendar of court appeaances .
in spite of the time crunch . nina found just enough space in thef morning tp pour hitchcock's kibble and bob's cereal , and to enjoy the short trip up pioneer trail to her law office .
when evening came , after she and sandy locked up , nina qewould drive ho,me through the forest to the cabin on kulow street , noting the hints of winter to come she perceived in the dry pines and parched streams . the cabin stil basket in early evening sun . inside , she would mick off her shoes and pour herself a glass of clos du bois and watch the world news , make dinner, and nagbob into finishing his homework . once a week she called her father , and once or twice a week she and bob went to her brothermatt's house for dinner .
septemper and october passed in a flurry while she restablished her routines . the fees rolled in and she paid off her debts .
the judges accepted her back , she had a pretty good working relationship with most of the local lawyers , and she finally knew what she was doing .
the small office suite in the starlake building on lake tahoe boulevard , right in the heart of town and less than fives miles from the nevada state lline , now felt like home , but some part of her was still restless . she had gone from carmel to san franc=isco to tahoe and back to carmel and the basckj to tahoe again the past few years .
