By the middle of the day, they'd gotten a lot done. Julie had packed up all of Anna's room, with help from the two girls, and had found a lot of her toys that had been scattered around the house. She had also gathered up the rest of Linda's clothing, to take back to Maxwell with them. Some of it, she would probably never wear again, but Aunt Kay was of the opinion that you just never knew what clothing you might need. While Linda would probably never wear her cocktail dresses again, there were some nice dresses that might be useful if the family went out for some special event. Everything got packed, and could be sorted once they got back home.

They ordered pizza for lunch, and were sitting in the living room eating it when a knock was heard on the front door. Julie went to answer it, and came back a moment later with a couple of teenagers. Robbie saw Janine and his old friend Kenny following her in, and gave Julie the sign they had agreed on to turn on the act.

“Hey, Baby,” she said, “look, some of your old friends stopped by.” She came and stood beside his chair, letting her hand snake around his neck and rest possessively on his shoulder. Aunt Kay had to stifle a laugh when she saw that Julie was making direct eye contact with Janine, as if challenging the girl. Oh, the stories that would be told around Cincinnati later that day.

Kenny and Janine visited for a few minutes, and then decided that they had other things they needed to be doing. They waved goodbye, and Robbie waited until they were out of earshot before he burst out laughing. “Oh, my goodness, that was priceless! Did you see the look on her face? And Kenny, I have never seen so much jealousy in his face in my whole life! Oh, Julie, that was so much fun!”

Julie was laughing, too. “Yeah, it was,” she said. “I thought your ex was going to jump on me, for a minute there. Of course, I was sort of daring her to say anything.”

“Well, it went perfect,” Robbie said. “I wouldn't have wanted you to get into a fight, but just the fact that she was glaring like that, that was beautiful!”

“Oh, don't worry,” Julie said with a smile. “If she comes back, I can take her.” She bent down and kissed his cheek, then spun and walked away. Robbie stared after, grinning.

Aunt Kay was looking at him, and he turned to her. “What?”

“Look, Robbie,” she said hesitantly, “I'm not meaning to stick my nose in where it doesn't belong, and maybe I'm just being a little overprotective. The thing is, I mean, you do realize that Julie is quite a bit older than you, right? Like, she's a grown up, and you're not?”

Robbie laughed. “Aunt Kay, relax,” he said. “We're just playing, having fun. I know she's too old for me, but hey, it's kind of fun to pretend there's more there than there is.
