“I’m trying to.”

“She’ll work it out. She’s a really smart woman. She has a great family backing her. She’s just spinning a little bit right now. Give her some time.”

“Evidently, we only have until Saturday.”

“A couple of hours ago, things were completely different. Give it at least until morning.”

“You’re right.” There was a time not all that long ago I would have grabbed my keys and headed out the door to have a little sisterly showdown with Teagan. Instead, I decided to give Evelyn a bath. The sad part was, I wasn’t sure leaving Teagan alone was the right thing to do.

“Your sister knows that you are there for her twenty-four seven. If she needs you, she’ll call.”

“God, I hope so. She doesn’t seem like she’s doing any of this for any of the right reasons. It scares me. I don’t want her to get any more hurt than she already is.”

“You go give the baby a bath. I’m gonna clean up the kitchen. You want some M&Ms in milk?”

“Actually, I have some Oreos and some really good vanilla ice cream.” I smiled. I know it’s dumb, but I love my mini ice cream sandwiches with the added bonus of the white stuff in the middle of Oreos, frozen. All you have to do is screw off the chocolate cookie from one side — doing a bunch at once is a good thing — and then take all the sides with no white stuff and smoosh some ice cream on them and eat them like a regular ice cream sandwich. The side with the white stuff, I always save that for last. I put a hunk of ice cream on there, wait for a second while the ice cream freezes the white stuff, and then eat. Usually in two bites. It takes some practice to get the ratio of cookie and white stuff to ice cream just right, but once you’ve got it down, oh my goodness. With a cup of hot tea. Life just doesn’t get any better than that few minutes. Guaranteed.

Just thinking about it made me feel better.

A.J. asked, “I know Suzi is doing some work for me, but why are we giving Evelyn a bath? Won’t she just pass out?”

“Suzi likes to keep her on a schedule. I told her if she wasn’t back at bath time, we’d just give her a bath. I also told her that if Todd called, she should go ahead and go out for coffee with him. If that happens, Evelyn will be all settled in.”

A.J. sounded annoyed. “She’d call first, ya know.”

“Of course she would. What’s up with you?”

“I’m not sure I like her dating again so soon.”

“You don’t get a vote. Besides, she’s moving really slowly. She isn’t going to pull a Teagan.”

“Don’t let her hear you say that.”

“Which her?”

“Either her.”
