Trina parked under the house and jumped out to get her grandmother’s door. “Hang on, Mimi. I’ll get the elevator down here, too.”

“Thanks, sweetness. That was quite a day of shopping.”

Trina opened Margo’s door as well. “That was a ton of shopping. Don’t worry about the packages, I’ll bring them up. You two just go on and get in the elevator.”

“I’m old, I’m not dead,” Margo muttered.

Trina ignored the comment and ran over to the elevator to push the button. She glanced toward the water before returning to get the packages out of the car. Kat was lounging by the pool, reading.

Trina wondered if she’d care if Trina joined her. After she got her grandmother, Margo, and the packages inside, of course. She went back to the car. Mimi and Margo were gathering their purses and making their way to the elevator.

Trina opened the back of the car and got the bags out. Wasn’t all that much. A small shopping bag from Guilford’s with a box of chocolate-covered cherries, one of Mimi’s favorites, and a bag of chocolate-covered raisins for Trina’s mom, something she loved. Mimi had also bought a new straw hat to wear on the beach.

Margo had a few more bags. She’d bought a pair of sandals, pretty leather things with little cork wedges. A floaty chiffon top from one of the pricey ladies boutiques. And a couple of books at Beachside Bookstore.

Trina had gotten a magazine in there and Mimi had picked up a new book of crossword puzzles.

All in all, a very successful trip. Made even better by two things: Margo’s generous treat of lunch, and her agreeing to let Trina give her some highlights.

In truth, that’s what Trina was most excited about. Nervous, too, because Margo was probably the most important client she’d ever had, outside of the mayor’s assistant, who came in every couple of months for a full head of highlights herself.

Trina scooped up all the bags and ran to the elevator.

“Did you lock the car?” Mimi asked.

“Not yet, but I’m coming back down. I can always do it from the porch.”

“All right,” Mimi said. “Just don’t forget, crime is everywhere these days.”

Margo looked at her as the elevator doors closed. “I agree with you, but Diamond Beach still seems very safe to me.”

“Let’s hope so,” Mimi said. “I’d hate to see this place ruined.”

“Same here,” Margo agreed.

Trina kept her head forward and smiled so neither one of them could see her. They were actually getting along, which to her meant the trip had been a success. She was tickled pink about it, too.

She and Mimi got off the elevator on the first floor. She handed Margo her bags. “Thanks again for lunch. I can’t wait to do your hair.”

Margo’s smile looked hesitant. “Yes, about that…”

“Don’t be nervous,” Trina said. “If you really hate it, I can always change it back.”

That seemed to surprise Margo. “You can?”

“Oh, sure.”

“Oh. All right then.” Margo nodded. “See you later.”

Trina stepped out of the doors so they could close.
