” “Room for desert, anyone?” Daddy asked. When everyone confirmed, Levi rose to help him retrieve it. Mom let out a sigh and fanned her face wit... a wicked smile. “That Levi is dangerous,” she said conspiratorially. “What?” I said, my eyes flying wide. “At least his sangria is,” Mom giggled. She took a sip and leaned across the table to whisper to me. “I’m drunk, honey!” I laughed a little nervously, glad I had diluted my own drink. I’m not sure I could have held myself together had I been as. I'm not going with you for your money. Sure, we can go to a movie or get something to eat and you can get me presents for my birthday and Christmas, but I don't want you to think you have to spend everything you make to keep me interested. You don't. It's just like the first day we went to the mall. You were so concerned we were going in a seven year old Chevy. I could care less what kind of car we went in, I wanted to be with you."It really bothers me that you spent so much on Bozo. I'm not. It was going to take me many days to reach Tucson, and there were not many, if any, hotels or restaurants on the way, so I was forced to take food and blankets with me. I found a helpful clerk in a general store who was willing to show me what I needed, and I got it at a fair price. I was not happy about camping out, but there was no real alternative. Dammit, a car and a motel would be helpful about now!That clerk convinced me that I could live off of jerky, dried fruit, and coffee for the time. Sister Mary Cecile won’t help at all. And Sister Agnes wants most for her to be the one that does too. So, your flirting with Mary Cecile makes Agnes the angriest, which causes me to spend even more time with Sister Agnes.” She tented her hands, looked deeply into my eyes, and said, “I need you to service Sister Kathleen and Sister Mary Celeste for me, Toby.”She reached inside her other sleeve and pulled out another hanky then another. These two are permeated with Kathleen’s and Mary Celeste’s.
