Chapter Eight

“Aren’t you coming, dear?”

“Sorry?” Kate recognized Lily’s voice immediately, and concerned that there was a problem, pressed the receiver to her ear. Glancing outside she saw it was already growing dark. “Would you like me to come and walk home with you?”

“No. I mean you should be here,” Lily insisted. “Why aren’t you here? You’re a resident of 1, Royal Buildings, aren’t you?”

“For now,” Kate agreed.

“Never mind ‘for now’,” Lily argued. “You’re one of us as far as I’m concerned, and it’s our Christmas party. We want you here. We’re planning more outings, and that’s all thanks to you.”

For once in her life, Kate didn’t know what to do. She had been opening gifts from her family and indulging in a pity party because she wasn’t with them over Christmas. She had been thinking of herself—not them, not Lily—and thrilled as she was to hear that the residents had planned more get-togethers after today, she didn’t want to bring Lily’s upbeat mood crashing down by telling her that the apartment was in a tip, and Kate was in a grump because she hadn’t been invited to the lunch.

On the other hand, she didn’t want to let Lily down.

“Honestly, dear, don’t even bother to change your clothes—just jump in a cab. They’re still running. Get over here as fast as you can—and that’s an order.”

Shaking the last of the grumps out of her head, Kate laughed. “Aye Aye, cap’n.” How could she refuse?
