So far, in the course of her cheesecake delivery experience, shed heard five women leaving Deans Winnebago. She couldnt swear to it in a court of law, but shed thought about the womens voices shed 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 shed delivered the second cheesecake, Hannah was almost positive shed heard Jeanette, Ericas mother. Then there was the voice this morning, the voice that she really hadnt wanted to recognize. Shed 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 theyd left the school after Traceys spelling bee scene. Hannah sent up a silent prayer that she was dead wrong and her sister wasnt involved with the Bad Boy Director.
This afternoon, when she delivered Deans second cheesecake, Hannah had recognized the womans voice. She was almost positive that it had been Honey, the head beautician. Even though Sharyn was now in town, his wifes presence didnt appear to be modifying Deans 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 wasnt 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 didnt 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. Im sick and tired of people trying to talk me into signing off so those movie people can use it.
I cant promise you that, Hannah said truthfully. But if you listen to what I have to say and you still say no, Ill shut up and I wont say another word about it.
Winnie laughed good-naturedly. Okay then. Thats fair enough. Ill stop by if you save one of those little cherry cheesecakes for me. They look mighty tasty.
