We walked a few minutes and spotted a Claire's up ahead, to our left.

"Omygod Claire's!" Kate cried.

"Right. They're women. They like to shop," Eric said.

"Of course we do," I told him; "you comin?"

"No, no. We'll be at the bookstore while you 2 browse."

"Right which is...?" I asked.

"Oh that way, up the stairs."

"Oh ok."

"Well see you."

"Yeah."

They walked off.

Kate and I walked into the store and walked around.

"Ooh these would be perfect for Claire," Kate said, holding up a pair of silver earrings.

"As would these for Miranda."

I held up a pair of gold earrings.

"Oh and look at those bracelets she'd like those too," Kate said, indicating a wall with colorful bracelets on it.

"Should we get something for Shannon?" I asked, referring to David's younger sister.

Kate nodded; "yes and for Melissa as well."

We browsed several items, bought the ones we liked and left the store.

"Cmon let's go find Leo and Eric at the bookstore," I said.

"Ok."

We headed across the mall.
