Tiptoeing and hoping no one spotted him and called the police, he followed the flagstone trail around the house to the back. The flickering light of a TV fell on a small patio with a swing seat and some garden chairs around a small table.
Quincy put the basket on the lawn and grabbed the first blanket. He spread it right below the patio before he took two big steps out on the lawn and placed the other blanket. Placing the chocolate pralines, some fancy kind he’d never tasted, on the blanket closest to the patio along with a new package of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, he reached for a small bottle of wine and a glass.
He went about placing the tea lights. Hopefully, he wouldn’t set Will’s garden on fire. One after the other he lit them until the entire lawn was filled with tiny flames.
