account. I guess she does.
I think back to Thanksgiving and
the Cregan place. Big house.
Nice furniture. Pretty backyard.
Pricey (if unremarkable) neighborhood,
the same one where Aunt Cora
and Liam will live, thanks to a big
down payment wedding gift.
Aunt Cora will be well cared for.
Do I feel good about that?
THE QUESTION NAGS
The rest of the afternoon.
Through manicure.
Pedicure.
(And just who wants a job
dealing with scaly feet?)
Trousseau shopping.
Christmas shopping.
(And why does Aunt Cora
think Liam wants pj’s?)
Makeup shopping.
Window shopping.
(And by now I’m getting
totally sick of shopping.)
Stuffing the car with
packages. Gassing up.
(And I majorly wish I had
an ibuprofen in my purse.)
Driving the eighty
miles to Austin.
