So far, in the course of her cheesecake delivery experience, she’d heard five women leaving Dean’s Winnebago. She couldn’t swear to it in a court of law, but she’d thought about the women’s voices she’d heard and come to some tentative conclusions. The first voice had sounded like Erica. There were just too many giggles for anyone else. And the voice on the second morning had sounded a whole lot like Lynne. After lunch, when she’d delivered the second cheesecake, Hannah was almost positive she’d heard Jeanette, Erica’s mother. Then there was the voice this morning, the voice that she really hadn’t wanted to recognize. She’d denied it at first, but now Hannah had to admit that the woman with Dean had sounded exactly like Andrea. It all tied in with what Dean had said as they’d left the school after Tracey’s spelling bee scene. Hannah sent up a silent prayer that she was dead wrong and her sister wasn’t involved with the Bad Boy Director.

This afternoon, when she delivered Dean’s second cheesecake, Hannah had recognized the woman’s voice. She was almost positive that it had been Honey, the head beautician. Even though Sharyn was now in town, his wife’s presence didn’t appear to be modifying Dean’s behavior one bit.

In spite of all this, Dean was a gifted director. Everyone in the cast agreed about that. What Burke had said in his interview was partly true. If Dean wasn’t getting the performance he wanted from an actor or actress, he was quick to step in and demonstrate what he wanted them to do. While he didn’t actually get dressed up in their costumes, he did occasionally use a hat, or a scarf, or some prop to enhance the illusion.

Only a few people were allowed in to watch the scene that was being filmed, and Hannah breathed a sigh of relief as she spotted Winnie Henderson.

“Hi, Winnie,” Hannah said, rushing up to her. “I need to talk to you after all this is over. Will you stop by The Cookie Jar?”

“Sure, but only if you promise not to mention the park. I’m sick and tired of people trying to talk me into signing off so those movie people can use it.”

“I can’t promise you that,” Hannah said truthfully. “But if you listen to what I have to say and you still say no, I’ll shut up and I won’t say another word about it.”

Winnie laughed good-naturedly. “Okay then. That’s fair enough. I’ll stop by if you save one of those little cherry cheesecakes for me. They look mighty tasty.”
