Mom interrupted my thoughts.“They want to talk to you. Get cleaned up and come down to the livingroom.”“Yes, Ricky,” chimed in my golden godde...s. “I won’t be there but you need to speak with them. I have to go see some family members today. I’ll be back for dinner.” With that, Ravi’s mom gave me a kiss on the lips and left the room.Mom said, “Well?”What choice did I have? I couldn’t argue with Mom and Indhira together. Not even sure I could win an argument with either of them singly. I was also. She sighed and threw herself onto her bed. Laying there as her skin air dried she thought of all the ways she could arrange a chance meeting with her new neighbors. All of her ideas seemed so staged and silly. She didn’t think she could hold a straight face while asking to borrow a cup of sugar. If only she had a dog, she could let it out into their yard and go looking for it. But, she didn’t actually need a dog. She could just say that it was lost. No, that wouldn’t work. What if they wanted. I have heard my parents speak about this. We have no pressing need for hospital care to send us home like last time when Bobbi was wounded. This time, I recommend we continue."There is a curiosity in people that keeps them looking over the mountain and crossing the next river. I think we should go on. We will be more careful if we continue. I will draw up a plan for a more careful contact method in the future. We have learned a harsh lesson. I will never forget it. I am authorized to state that. "She gave me her best dirty look trying hard not to break into a smile. "Better get used to it, 'cuz that's where you'll be sleeping tonight." I threw the pillow at her which she caught and threw right back. She grabbed another and started whacking me with it. When she saw that I wasn't responding, she hit me one last time and walked to the kitchen. "I am going to see if our guest needs anything. I am sure he will appreciate me." Yea, cause I am paying him", I smirked. That comment got me the.
