Saturday we had the second meeting up at the barn which I’ll come to in a minute but from the point of view of what was happening in people’s live... Nancy was officially staying at Mandy’s which meant she was staying with me and what was surprising was that Mom was completely cool about us sleeping together and offered us her bed which we didn’t accept but the offer was nice. Sunday Mom made us breakfast in bed, and we didn’t actually get any clothes on until about lunchtime. Then I phoned my. Jame went to follow but Dani stopped him. “Leave her alone,” she said sternly.Katie, Debbie, and Dani all decided to follow. They found her on a bench, tears streaming down her cheeks. They each gave Bella a hug.“I’m fine,” said Bella, even though her friends could tell she wasn’t.Before Dani could console her best friend, Katie sat next to Bella and wiped a tear off her cheek. “James is here only to work and not to cause trouble.”“I guess you’re right, Katie,” said Bella.Every reassuring word.

"It's time to get ready for Sunday school and church." He refreshed his coffee and headed upstairs with Linda behind him.Lisa and I refreshed.
