Chapter 17 Prior To This, Things Were Perfect

• Elgin Morgan is a handsome, outgoing, unselfconscious man of 55. He had a Mohican cut and spartan shoulders. His Roman nose and half-dome cheekbones sat above an oaken jaw.
• People had always remarked that his best feature was his entrancing, wayfarer-blue eyes. Sloe shaped and had the same startling clarity as a mountain stream. He seemed molded from a different cast as he had an androgynous look that was uncommon to most people. His derring-do personality and bass voice were a big part of his ambitious character. He always wore nifty clothes and his spicy aroma was appealing.
• He wasn’t a male model but he should have been. The lush, mother lode-gold hair he groomed so carefully had a rippling quality, a sign of his rude health. His only blemish was that he was beetle-browed and they sometimes knitted in frustration.
