A Comfort For Kristi Part 1

One fine summer morning at the home of Chelsea Smith, an artist, Kristi Cavanaugh walked down the hall from the bathroom still wearing her sky blue bathrobe, light blue pajamas consisting of a short sleeved keyhole top and long flaired pants, and sky blue slippers.

Chelsea & Kristi were half sisters, Kristi entered the kitchen to find Chelsea fixing a big breakfast of pancakes, fried eggs, bacon, and hashbrowns.

Chelsea could tell that there was something the matter with Kristi.

"Good morning, Kristi." Chelsea said with a smile.

All Kristi could do was sigh, she couldn't help it, she had a very bad case of the blues, "Good morning, Chelsea." she said.

Chelsea set a plate of pancakes, fried eggs, bacon, and hashbrowns in front of Kristi.

Kristi took a big bite of the fried eggs that were on her breakfast plate.

"Whatever is the matter?" Chelsea asked Kristi, she was curious & concerned.

"I can't believe what Veronica did to me over the phone last week, Chelsea!" Kristi exclaimed after swallowing her bite of food, she was upset.

Chelsea put a comforting hand upon Kristi's left shoulder, "Please, tell your big sister what happened." she said kindly.

Kristi took a deep breath, "When I called Veronica back to talk to her, she told me to get lost!" she told Chelsea, beginning to sob uncontrollably.

Chelsea gave Kristi a look that was full of understanding.

"Well, Kristi," Chelsea advised. "I think you really should forget all about Veronica and make some new friends."

"Does that mean I will have to give up riding?" Kristi asked Chelsea, she was curious.

"No, of course not." Chelsea answered Kristi.

Kristi just then noticed an envelope sitting on the kitchen table, "What is that?" she asked Chelsea curiously.

"It is a letter for you." Chelsea answered Kristi.

"A letter, for me? Well, who is it from?" Kristi asked Chelsea.

"Why don't you open it and find out." Chelsea advised Kristi.

Kristi tore open the envelope to reveal that the letter was in fact from Lisa Atwood.
