text: Walt spent all day on the porch reading books while Dulcie worked six days a week in the town’s diner 5:30 AM until Two PM. Soon she wouldn’t be able to work in the kitchen anymore. It was already making her feel sick. Three days a week she worked Four PM until closing in the convenience store. Couldn’t get more hours. Last time she had been pregnant the doctor made her give up that job. Too much heavy lifting. She lost the baby anyway.
