Hana was stunned. No one, especially her aunt, had ever yelled at her like that before. Biting her lip to stop the trembling, she sniffled, wiping her eyes on a tissue that Marnie handed her. Enid could see she was calmer. “Now,” she said. “Give me details about what that horrible woman said.” Dizzy and […]

Jimmy gave him a dry, withering look. “Bro, if I did, would I be here talking to you about how long it’s been since I had sex? I could have that Finch lady any time of the day or night. She and her husband invited me to join them some night. I politely declined. I […]

“When did they start doing that?” Enid asked. “About three months ago. In fact, I keep a place here, too.” “Do you really want to, dear?” Enid asked with tears in her eyes. “More than just about anything, Aunt Enid. I can’t even imagine going back home after being here. This is where I belong. […]

“You stepping on my cat again,” Julia said from the family room where she was making the bed. “I can do that, sis. Go to bed, huh?” “I’m pregnant, not helpless.” “I know, but I’m completely capable of making my own bed. You don’t have to mother me.” “Maybe I want to. This is the […]
