"leave," I told him: "but first. Get pam and nick. And where are the twins and evan?"
"they're. They're in my room."
"go. Take them out for ice cream orsomething. There's some money in my purse. And get pam and nick."
"honey I...karen...they're back in the northeast. They can't just like. It's not like they can. Like just get on a plane right now."
"well then get them the hell on the phone!"
"ok...ok."
at that moment mandy wandered out from the other room and into mine.
"mommy?" she asked looking sad.
"not now baby mommy's busy. But daddy's going to take all of you out for ice cream."
