Chapter 9 – Hound

I don't think I've ever had so much fun as I did that day with Jane and the girls. We were shameless tourists in the girls' city. The two uncivilized ruffians with Luce and I, rolled their eyes at us every time Luce and I would stop to read the plaques or histories of the exhibits at the various stops while they rushed to the next sights.

Impatient duo if ever there was. But I watched Jane and Bri closely as they seemed to bond, blathered on about pirates and whatnot near a cannon in a park, feigning a sword fight with each other. Luce was whispering to me, “No sense whatsoever.” I winked at her and we watched the two overgrown kids play out the fantasy rolling around in their heads. It did look sort of fun. Calvin was Blackbeard in their delusions as he bounded around them, barking happily, making me smile.

I called out, “Ok, you two, we should stop for lunch before hitting the Botanic Gardens.”

Luce brightened at that and pointed at her best friend, “See? This is where a book on horticulture would come in handy. I told you.”

Bri just whirled her finger in a whoop-dee-doo gesture as she grinned like a fool.

Then she nodded more seriously when Luce started saying in a tone laced in excitement, “The Botanic Gardens were designed in the nineteenth century by Sir Charles Lanyon, who also designed parts of Queen’s University.

Jane whispered something to Bri, who giggled and said, “Aren't they just?” I noted how she was more lax about keeping her face covered the more we interacted with her. One day she was going to realize it just didn't matter and her smile was going to win over everyone she met.

When we stopped for lunch at a really cute outdoor cafe near the Museum of Arts and Culture, and after we ordered I checked the time and smirked at our group. “Ok ladies, arm yourselves.” I held up my cell and they all furrowed their brows as I turned it back on and dialed. Then they were all digging their phones out and looked at me funny as they turned theirs back on too, and a moment later they accepted my Facetime Request.

Luce shoved her phone at my face and whispered behind her hand, “I'm right here, Finnegan, you don't need to...” She trailed off when first Jane then Bri joined the group chat and then mom with Jess, Kerry, Garrett, Becky in the background... Alyx on mom's hip as she called out, “There you all are.”

Luce pulled her cell to her face like she was trying to peer into the camera lens itself as she asked in surprise, “Mrs.
