Cate gathered
the pitcher and glasses and carried the inside. She loaded the dishwasher and
slumped into a chair at the kitchen table. She had no idea how to handle this
new problem.
A half an
hour later her friends returned. She met them in the hall. In their eyes she
saw questions she didn’t want to answer.
“Are you all
right?” Liz asked.
“Yes.”
Megan cocked
her head. “Why didn’t you come over? You and he were so close.”
Cate’s hands
clenched. “My reason is evident.” She drew a deep breath. “I’m ready for
lunch.”
“Good idea.”
Liz walked to the kitchen door. “Brandon, Justin, come in and wash your hands
and faces. We’re going to the Hot Doggery.”
Three boys
and one girl stormed into the house. Once they washed they went to their cars.
“See you
there,” Cate called.
Maddie
fastened her seatbelt. “The boys are nice but I wish there was another girl.”
Cate started
the car. “When you go to the Community Center for the rest of this month and
when school starts you’ll find girl friends.”
