“I thought it would be a nice day to eat outside." Aimee watched as her mother unloaded a picnic basket with sandwiches and chips in Ziploc bags. “Besides, I had these bananas that were about to go bad." “Oh, trust me. Free food is always welcome," Aimee said as her mother set a peanut butter and banana sandwich in front of her. “And it is a pretty day out. Not as hot as it has been lately. I just thought you had your women's club thing today." Betty Harper waved her off as she set a Diet Coke in front of her. “That ended an hour ago and with your sister's new job, I figured she'd still be sleeping. So you're the one who has to suffer with my company." Aimee rolled her eyes. “It's never suffering when I get to hang out with you. Besides, there's something I wanted to talk to you about."
