Part 2: Chapter 1

June 5

Jenna, Jenny, and Jackie were standing behind the counter at Jenny's Thrift Shop.

"Why did you buy a thrift store?" Jackie asked.

"Why not?" Jenny asked.

"You hate thrift stores," Jackie said.

"That's before I owned one," Jenny said. "And besides, I have you two as my employees."

"No," Jenna said. "I just worked all day at Red Bedroom."

"I'll pay $50 a week," Jenny said.

"Okay," Jenna said.

"So Jenna," Jackie said. "Have you talked to Sam on the phone lately?"

"Yes," Jenna replied. "We talked this morning. I can't believe I turned down his offer to go to California with him and Jonathan."

Ella walked into the store.

"Hey," Ella said.

"Hey Ella," Jackie said. "May we help you?"

"I'm looking for a sofa," Ella said.

"Okay," Jenny said. "We have several sofas. Jenna."

"No," Ella said. "I'm Ella."

"I was telling Jenna to show you the sofas," Jenny said.

"Oh," Ella said. "And also, do you have fur coats?"

"No," Jenny replied. "Sorry."

"I used to have a fur coat when I lived in New York," Ella said. "It was made of mink and it was so soft."

"What happened to it?" Jackie asked.

"Some street painters walked over to me and threw buckets of paint on it," Ella said. "Stupid street painters!"

"Ella," Jenny said. "I don't think they were street painters."

"Come with me," Jenna said. "The sofas are to the right."

Ella walked to the left.

"Your other right," Jenna said.

Jenna led Ella to the sofas and Jenny looked at Jackie.

"Wow, she's an airhead," Jenny said.

Lily walked into the store.

"Hey," Lily said.

"Hey," Jackie said.

"Hi Lily," Jenny said.

"I talked to Rosemary's sister Brenna, and Rosemary's ashes are being taken back to Vermont for a private funeral with just her family and close friends," Lily said. "There will be a memorial service here in Tree Hill on the 15th in the park where the River Court used to be."

"I only met her a few times, but I'll be there," Jackie said.

"Count me in," Jenny said.

"Well I'm going to bring Rosemary's family some food," Lily said. "I'll see you later."

"Bye," Jenny and Jackie said.

"Bye," Lily said as she walked out of the store.
