CHAPTER 48
The phone rang while Susannah was looking for clean clothes for Kitty.
“Hello?” Why did her heart always skip that little beat whenever someone called?
“Susannah? That you?”
She didn’t need caller ID to recognize the voice. “Hi, Ricky. Merry Christmas.”
“Yeah, you too. We missed you at the candlelight service tonight. Couldn’t make it, huh?”
Susannah propped the phone against her shoulder and tried to get Kitty’s things organized on her bed. “Yeah, it’s pretty icy, and we don’t want Kitty in big crowds where she can catch a cold or anything.”
There she went using we as if she and Mom were both still around, both still making decisions about her sister’s care.
“That makes sense. Well, I just wanted to say we missed you.”
Susannah wondered which we Ricky was referring to.
