Into the Garden (Wildflowers 5)

reminded Misty with an impish smile.

Misty looked trapped.

"We can both sleep in my bed," I said. "It's big

enough, if that's all right with you."

"Yes," she said quickly, seizing the suggestion.

"Of course it's big enough and it'll be more fun. We'll

test out your new bedding and hang your curtains,

too."

Jade and Star looked at each other and laughed. "Well, we'll both feel better," Misty added,

nodding. "Tomorrow, we should do something with

your half sister's room, like rip it apart and start over

again. We'll get every trace of her out of there just the

way my mother got every trace of my father out of our

house after they separated. And we'll paint it, too, a

color she hated."

"That's just about everything but white,:' I said. "All right," Jade said, growing serious. "Do

what you want, you two. I've called for the limousine

to pick up Star and me and take us home tonight. It'll

be here any minute. In the morning we'll meet here

and start thinking about planning our first party and

stuff," she said.

"Don't forget, Cat, you're coming to my house

for dinner tomorrow night and you're staying with

me," Star told me. "We don't have to worry about

ghosts there," she said, teasing Misty.

"There's no ghost here. Stop it," Misty moaned.

Star and Jade laughed.

When the limousine arrived, Misty and I

watched them leave. Misty looked like she wished she

was leaving with them.
