"I'm not skinny," Anna protested. "I've been told I'm quite fine." She tossed her hair.

"That you are."

Anna stopped so suddenly that Rona ran into her. She automatically slipped her arms around Anna to catch her. Rona gazed into Anna's dark eyes.

"You're not so bad yourself," Anna replied softly. She pulled away and headed for the door.

Rona was so shocked that she was unable to move for a long moment. When she finally did, she had to run to catch up. As soon as they were in the elevator, Anna began to chatter about the basketball game that was supposed to be on that night.

"I'm not a basketball fan," Rona admitted.

Anna looked at her, clearly appalled. "We're going to have to change that. No one can survive my family without being a Spurs fan. When they won their first championship in '99, we threw a huge party. In fact, there's a game Sunday. Mom is making her specialty, pastitsio."

Before Rona could refuse, the elevator opened and Anna was sailing across the lobby. Anna rambled on about basketball most of the way home. Under normal circumstances, Rona might have been irritated, but she couldn't stop thinking about Anna's comment. When did Anna start looking at her? When did I start noticing her? She was still mulling over that question when they pulled into the garage.

The twins met them at the kitchen door. Tammy was washing a bunch of lettuce.

"We went to Auntie Tina today," Katie announced proudly.

"Who's Aunt Tina?" Rona asked, turning to Tammy.

"Athenians," Tammy corrected. "Your mom called this morning and invited us to lunch."

"Really," Anna said. She seemed bemused. "Did you like it?"

"I liked the ba-la-la," Katie replied.

"Yes, I like the baklava too," Anna agreed. "Did you bring me some?"

Karla nodded.

"You did. Where is it?"

"On the table," Karla replied.

"Let's eat some." Anna started toward the table with the twins on her heels.

Tammy cleared her throat and looked at the girls. "None for you two until after dinner."

Anna stopped. "Oops," she said. "I guess I should wait too. What are we having, by the way?"

"I fixed a pork roast. I thought we would eat in about twenty minutes."

"I'm going to go change," Rona said as she left the room. She hid the black bag under the bed and changed into sweats and her sneakers before carefully hanging up her new clothes in the closet. Despite the hassles of all the shopping, she was forced to admit that it felt good to know the clothes she was wearing were hers and that they fit correctly.

When Rona went back downstairs, Tammy was in the kitchen alone.

"I'm sorry about last night and this morning," Rona said. "You were right about everything—Anna, the haircut, the clothes, the boots—everything." She looked up to find Tammy smiling at her.

"I'm glad to hear you finally appreciate my keen sense of style," Tammy said as she handed Rona the end of a carrot that she had been grating into a salad bowl.

"You know I can be a butt," Rona admitted as she munched on the carrot.
