. they all drank . nina took a sniff , then a taste . the tea tasted delicate , perfumed with flowers and something like popcorn quite a change from the supermarmarket stuff she was used to drinking ." what is this ? it's great /."
"is that the stuff from chana we got last year , dolll ?
hector nodded his hoarty head . he was very old , in his eighties . nina decided .
"shoot , i forget the name . hector . what's it called ?"
he examined an ornately decorated canister and answered her .
"right ." betty jo said , nodding ." how 'd i forget that ?"
nina , who had not understood him , sipped some more . wanting to know but not enough to ask again .
"oh , here's jimmy."betty jo got up to greet a man who had entered the room . she took hinm by the hand and brought him in for a hug , then led him toward nina ," jimmy bova , nina reilly ."
boya shook nina's hand .
i'm the owner of the asce high ." he said ." you know - the motel ." bova wore a red sweater , which clung like silk to his well-defined upper body . he had fleshy lips , a long roman nose , the kind thast drops straight from the forehead , and unusal , light colored eyes set off nicely by the even tan a tanning boothg provides . he looked like a man who who took his exercise inside a gym , wearing really nin=ce sweats , rather than the typical tahoe man , who got it outside at ythe woodchopping block .
"glad to meet you ," nina said ." i didn't know you'd be here ."
betty jo had sprung a surprise , inviting her client along .bova smiled . it was a warn smile , and nina gave him one back ,always ready to give the benefit of a doubt . if he hadn't been on the opposite side , she might not have described him to herself quite so harshly . he actualy hads a dash of sylvester stallone when he smiled .
"i hope ypu don't mind ," betty jo said innocently . i always reckon people should talk , get to know each other .didn't find mr. hanna was ready to join us , though . her's hell to talk to . i'm glad you're in the case . nina ."
nina set her cup down and decided to pay along with betty jo . they were all friends here , with no sticky clients like nina's around tp mess the place up ." your house is superb . spanish style isn't common up here ."
"hector and i couldn't resist when we saw it . we're from modesto , only been up here a couple of years ."
