BY 10:30, WE WERE BACK at school. We said goodbye to James and stood as a group in the parking lot.
“Well, we sure have a lot to talk about,” said Lois.
“Not tonight. I still have some thinking to do,” I said.
“Tomorrow then,” said George. “We can"t talk about this during school. We need to assess this.”
Linda said, “Come to our house at noon. Ashley, go shopping.”
“What should I get?”
“Get inspired.”
Watching the verbal volleying, Sandy said, “I"ll help. See you tomorrow.”
“We"ll see you at noon then.” Linda said.
When we arrived home, I almost fell into an armchair in the family room. “Nice dinner,” I said.
But Linda wasn"t in the mood for small talk. She said, “Fritz, they"re not fooling around. Now I"m more afraid of not finding the portal again.” She sat across from me.
