She stormed in and stood, panting, hands on knees.
“What is it, girl!” Penny jumped, spilling some tea. A chain of horrible scenarios tumbled through her brain.
“She’s excited, not scared,” Margo barely lifted her eyes from the book she was destroying.
Clara nodded. Still unable to speak.
“I. Found. It!” she finally managed.
“Found what?” Penny snapped, then bit down her irritation. It was tiring, being the elder. The responsible one. The level-headed, boring, taskmaster sibling.
“Our perfect future homes!” Clara announced. “We can live next to each other, strung along the avenue like peas in a pod.”

Too very different perspectives on their siblinghood. I wonder if they will move into the adjoining dwellings and live happily ever after?

It certainly seems as if to Clara this seems a happily ever after … Will it be so for the others? Who knows! But, in my mind’s eye, I’m thinking, why not? They can live across the street from Dale et al! 🙂

Na’ama Y’karah,
I can’t help thinking there’s another story between the lines. Lots of emotion. I found it interesting that Margo hardly looked up from the book she was destroying. Hmmm. Love the sisters in any event.
Shalom,
Rochelle

Yes, a lot of other stories there, for sure … and … what looks like “destroying” to one sister (what was she doing? bending the book’s spine? highlighting? writing notes in on the pages? dogearing the pages? something else?) may be “just how I read” to someone else … But, yeah, there’s lots of emotion there, as there often can be, between siblings. 🙂 Love that you loved it! 🙂
