I don’t mention the phone call to the girls. Nor the bungee jumping, nor the complications with Jack, or Shawn.
The girls are happy and laughing about the hair cutting party and Cleopatra’s aptitude for dancing.
“Let’s hear another story about David,” says Matilda after they’ve all settled in.
“Bah. Not David,” says Cleopatra.
“Oh, yes. It’s been ages,” agrees Sylvie. She picks up her knitting needles and starts work on the blanket. It has three different-colored rows of flowers now. Purple, red and yellow.
“Hmm, yes…David Crestwood. Where were we?” asks Gerry.
“He was shipwrecked in Russia,” says Matilda. She leans forward with her hands folded in her lap. Eager as a kid in a kitten store. She has on a sweater with a cat talking on a telephone.
“Humph,” says Cleopatra.
