In the living room, the adults were talking. Annie was explaining about the
plans Julie had made for them, and that she had revised.
"Well, Rose, I thought that you and I could go for coffee tomorrow morning, get to know each other. The kids could stay home and get to know one another too."
"That would be wonderful, Annie. Maybe when Harold has a free moment, he and Eric can do something."
"Yes, are you busy tonight, Eric?" Annie asked her husband.
"No."
"Well Harry's not." Rose added.
"How about you and I go for a game of pool tonight?" Eric asked with a sigh, picking up on Rose and Annie's hints.
"Sure. Sounds good" Harold said. He hated when his wife did this.
Upstairs, the children were sitting around talking on the floor.
"So, what's it like living near snow?" Ruthie asked.
"Well, it's sort of cool, but very annoying." Bright answered.
"Cool. I'd NEVER get sick of it. How could I?"
"Easily!' Amy added with an eye roll.
"What's it like living near the ocean?" Bright asked.
"Nice, but not as cool as the snow." Ruthie said.
"I'd NEVER get sick of the ocean! How could I?" Bright said repeating Ruthie's comment. They all laughed.
Lucy tapped Amy on the shoulder and motioned for her to get up. She caught her hint. They went out into the hall.
"What is it?" Amy asked Lucy.
"I want you to come to my room. You're sixteen right?"
"Fourteen, how old are you?"
"Eighteen. But that's okay. I think it's cool. You seem SO mature. Can we talk alone in my room Actually Mary's and my room. That's where you probably will stay."
"Okay. Let's go!"
When they go to the room, they sat on Lucy's bed.
"What did you want to talk about?"
"Guys, anything. I just want to talk to someone. I don't have many friends, Amy."
"Wow, Lucy! I would have thought you would be so popular! I'd SO hang with you!"
"Thanks, I wish you lived in Glenoak."
"Thank YOU! I guess nobody's ever said that to me before. Not anyone outside my family."
"Wow, I would have thought you would have heard that, you being so cool and all."
"You have a boyfriend, Lucy?"
"Yeah, this guy. He's nice. And you?"
"This guy, Colin. What's your boyfriend's name?"
"His name is well,"
Annie called the kids down for dinner. Lucy's thought was cut off.
