Lola I woke up startled. The images of a steamy dream with Frank seemed too real. Frank's hands on my body, his lips against mine. I took a deep breath, trying to push away the persistent desire that ran through me. What was I thinking? I shouldn't be having sensual dreams about him. Avoiding Frank became my mission as I got Alice ready for school and myself for work. Thankfully, it turned out to be easier than I thought. Frank wasn't anywhere to be found. Had he gone to work early? Was he avoiding me too? When Alice and I went to the kitchen, Marie was there with Caroline. "I have pancakes this morning," Caroline said in a sing-song voice. "Yay!" Alice squealed in excitement. "I'm going to need a new wardrobe if I keep eating like this," I said as I helped Alice to the kitchen table
