Chapter Fourteen

Somehow, later that evening Sloane found herself seated next to Levi’s mother, telling her the whole sad story about her own mom and her disappearance. Linda’s gentle manner and interested questions had sucked her in, and now Linda’s sympathy was threatening to make her cry. Sloane never cried.

Maybe it was the champagne.

Wasn’t bubbly supposed to make you happy?

Linda patted her shoulder. “You must be so strong. And it sounds like your younger brother and sister turned out just fine.”

“They’re great,” she agreed. “I’m so proud of them. Even though Becca lives in New York, we’re always in touch on Facebook and email, and we visit. And even though Eric’s busy, he keeps in touch too. He calls to ask how to get a mustard stain off his new shirt or how to hardboil eggs, and we have lunch every couple of weeks. He let me stay with him while my bathroom was being renovated.”

She talked more to Levi’s sisters, who had no compunction in telling her all kinds of tales about young Levi.

“Levi is spoiled rotten,” Essie said. “But it’s our fault.”

Heather and Madeleine nodded their agreement. “Mom and Dad were supposed to be done having kids after Essie,” Madeleine, the eldest, said. “They kept trying for a boy and ended up with three girls.”

“That’s always the way,” Sloane agreed. “I know someone who was trying for a girl and ended up with four boys.”

“Yep. Then along came Levi, a surprise baby, but the boy they’d always wanted. Of course they were prepared to give him anything and everything he ever wanted.”

“And there were Essie and Heather and me…how old?” Madeleine looked at Essie.

“I was five when he was born,” Essie said. “He was my very own real life baby doll.”

“Yeah, me too.” Heather grinned. “I was seven. We actually fought over who was going to change his diapers.” She rolled her eyes. “Then who was going to push the stroller and…well, you get the picture. Little Levi was pampered and spoiled rotten.”

“Remember that stuffed dog he had?”

“Squidgy.”

“Yeah. He slept with that dog until he was twelve.”

“No, I think it was more like fifteen.” They all laughed.

“Remember that time we went to Disneyland?” Madeleine said. “And he left Squidgy in the hotel bed and when we got back to the hotel that night we couldn’t find it anywhere.” She smiled at Sloane. “He was devastated, crying his eyes out. We were all running around the hotel trying frantically to find the damn thing for him. The maids had changed the bed and accidentally taken it with the laundry. Hotel staff hunted it down and found it in the laundry room and brought it back.”

Sloane grinned. “Lucky.”

“Actually, he might still sleep with that dog.” Heather tapped her chin. “It’s entirely possible.”

Sloane smiled. “If that’s an attempt to get me to tell you whether I’ve slept with him…what the hell, I’ll bite. I can confirm he does not sleep with that dog anymore.”

All three of his sisters grinned at Sloane’s directness. “I like you,” Essie said.
