Ella owed Ed dinner. She'd also had to reschedule with Vaughn- no, she reminded herself, not Vaughn, Leah. So she decided to kill two birds with one stone. Except without the killing and the birds.
She'd sent out invitations.
She'd gone to the store and bought the makings of Coq au Vin, along with a nice bottle of deep red and some crusty French bread, and the entire apartment was scented with rich spices and warmth. The table was set with three places, the crusty bread set out with spices and oils for dipping, the wine bottle waiting to be uncorked.
Loreena McKennitt played softly from the living room.
Ella was in her bedroom getting ready. She hadn't seen her sister since Ella was six and Leah was twelve. She had no idea what she looked like, or if she hated her. She tipped her chin up definitely as she looked in the mirror. She was determined to make this work. Ella had always wanted someone to share things with when she was little, and this was her chance to remedy that after the fact.
She slipped into a vintage dress, and she pulled her hair back loosely at the nape of her neck. She checked the dumbwaiter once before going to look in on the chicken while she waited.
