Chapter 16

The moment the cable car slid into its nest on the platform, the Sisters ran outside to welcome Lizzie de Silva Fox Cricket. The greetings were loud and cheerful, the hugs bone-crushing. And then came the grumbling about missing the big event, to which Lizzie just smiled and smiled.

Annie herded them all to the dining room, where a festive table was set, the decorations homemade but made with love. In the center of the table a three-tier wedding cake that listed slightly to the side welcomed the new bride. Tears rolled down Lizzie’s cheeks as another round of hugs and congratulations were bestowed on her.

“Pineapple-coconut, your favorite,” Annie, the baker of the cake chortled. “Coconut frosting.”

“Oh, girls, it’s exquisite! I wasn’t expecting anything like this. I didn’t have a wedding cake! This is so wonderful! Thank you, thank you, thank you. Somehow, this makes it all the more official. I need to take a picture of this cake so I can send it on to Cosmo. I bet you all don’t know Cosmo can cook! He can! And he uses every pot, pan, and bowl he owns just to make scrambled eggs. He’s a better cook than I am.” More tears dripped down Lizzie’s cheeks. A moment later a picture of Annie’s slightly crooked cake was on its way to Cosmo.

“We didn’t have an opportunity to shop for a wedding gift. So, we all talked it over and agreed that we want you to have a ten percent interest in the Babylon. That’s our gift to you and Cosmo,” Annie said.

“Oh, my God!” was all Lizzie could say.

“Since you’re handling the legal end of things, make sure you work that in. Little Fish is quite happy with the deal, by the way. Now it’s time to eat this wonderful cake. Myra made fresh coffee, and it’s just waiting to be poured. Lizzie, you get to cut the cake. Give me your phone, and I’ll take a picture so you can send it on to Cosmo,” Annie said as she reached for Lizzie’s cell.

More pictures were taken and sent to Cosmo, the cake cut, the coffee poured. The Sisters babbled happily as they devoured the confection.

“You have to take some of this wonderful cake with you and put it under your pillow tonight,” Myra said. “All your dreams will come true.”

“No, you’re supposed to put it in the freezer and save it for next year on your anniversary,” Nikki said wistfully.

In the end it was decided that Lizzie would take two pieces, one for under her pillow and one for the freezer.

“Okay, girls, it’s time to get down to business. When I leave here my plan is to head back to Vegas after I make one more stop,” Lizzie said.

Isabelle and Alexis cleared the table. Yoko was making more coffee as Lizzie hauled her briefcase up and onto the table.

“Listen up, girls!”

“We’re listening, Lizzie. Tell us what’s going on. We need to know what’s expected of us,” Nikki said.

“Some of this you know, but let me give it all to you in order.
