Chapter 59. Meeting Rosemary

“Your house?”

“Yes. If you wish to sleep here after dinner, you can. For dinner, Courtney and Geoffrey will be present. I might ask Nicholas if he’ll also invite Francis over. You two seemed to get along when you met at the wedding party.”

She coughed in response.

“Are you alright?”

Before responding, she coughed a couple more times. “I’m sorry. My brain stopped working.” Very strange. “Saturday sounds wonderful.”

“Make sure you call Courtney because she is taking care of the bill.”

“I will.” More squeaks and giggles could be heard. “Willow, I have to hang up. I’ll call you tomorrow to flesh out the details. I love you. Bye!”

She ended the phone call immediately, and I shook my head. She was up to something, but for the time being, I would let her keep her plans private.

The car pulled up to the house and I slid out and trudged up the stairs. I felt beyond tired and I had no idea why. Maybe it was the terribly hot and clammy weather.
