" That's very nice of you Aunt Suzanne," I said, suddenly stricken with sentiment."Don't get mushy with me. Isn't that what you always tell me?"Alice ...as very receptive to having Suzanne make the arrangements. She too, was very appreciative of Suzanne's offer until I told her about the conversation I overheard.Suzanne had spoken to the restaurant manager like they were old friends. "My nephew will be bringing an older lady to your restaurant this evening. He's a very handsome lad of fifteen and. We’ll find out what she wants done. If she wants to go back to her uncle, I will take her. If she doesn’t,. we’ll try and help her any way we can. All I know is you don’t go and buy and sell people, any more. A lot of good men lost their lives to wipe out slavery. I’ll be damn if I am going to let something like this happen, now.’ Returning to where the girl was, I found her gone. Brad saw us, and came over. He said that Running Deer and Little Doe took her back around to the cabins, to check. So you'll pardon me if I don't jump up and down with enthusiasm when I find out that my sister's a lesbian."Tracy let the impact of that term sink in a bit before she went any further. Maybe she was in love with another woman, but if she was a lesbian, then why did she feel so strongly about her brother? She'd been in love with him once before, and after just one short week, it was happening again. Was she grasping at straws? She didn't think so, because just below the surface, those desires. Resignedly, I started to turn back when, to my utter surprise, she pulled out a very modern smartphone, of all things, and fiddled about with it. She babbled happily into the phone, shot me a frightening victory smile and waved me off, not willing, not able, or just not bothered to explain whatever actions she might have triggered.It wasn't long, however, till somebody did indeed turn up. On a huge green monster of a tractor as it were. A young woman in work clothes. She looked us over.
