It was now 6 and we were all sitting around the large, extended kitchen table. 'We' being Ginger, Rachel, Nicky, Alex, Becky, Jesse, Joey, Kaitlyn and myself. Vicky was off with Lila, Alexa and Elizabeth and my dad was with Michelle. Ginger barely had anything to eat. On the table was the pasta, salad, garlic bread, vegetables and a pitcher of apple cider.
"So is your dad usually out?" Ginger asked me.
"No he's usually here for dinner. Michelle sometimes is and sometimes isn't."
"Oh."
"Vicky, Elizabeth and Lila are though," Rachel said.
"Oh."
"Yeah."
"Wow so why don't you have kids?" Ginger asked Joey.
"I don't really want any. Not yet anyway."
"Oh."
"But you'd be so great with them."
"Thanks."
"You're welcome."
"Ginger you haven't had very much to eat," Becky observed.
"I'm………..just not very hungy."
"Ok. Well……….be careful."
"I will. Thanks."
We all ate some of out food.
"Wow so everyone lives in this house?" Ginger asked.
Jesse nodded; "yeah. We extended the basement and attic a bit."
"Oh ok."
"Ginger, if you like animals then maybe you'd like to come horseback riding with us this weekend," Becky said.
"Whos 'us'?"
"Well myself, Stephanie, DJ, Vicky and Alexa."
"DJ?"
"My older sister whos coming home from college early," I explained.
"Oh."
Ginger turned to Becky; "yeah sure I'd like that."
"Ok."
