Who: Carrie and Cathy
What: Sister time
When: Thursday night
Where: Their home in Freedomtown
Carrie lay beside Cory while he and Jory laid down to go to sleep. She and Cory cuddled until he fell asleep like they had always done as children even though the grandmother despised them in the same bed. But Cathy and Chris had always let the twins sleep in the same bed, well sometimes, not always. Carrie smiled to herself, relaxed in the bedroom with her siblings and nephew. It felt like old times except happier.
The happiness was the confusing part. If she was finally happy why was she feeling lonely? Once the boys fell asleep Carrie gently kissed each boy goodnight then went to the kitchen with Cathy to sit and talk. Carrie heated up the milk for the cocoa while Cathy got the mugs and even some marshmallows, always Carrie’s favorite, not that she had them as a child. Once they went to live with Dr. Paul she discovered marshmallows and was addicted.
She sighed and set the tea pot on a cozy in the middle of the table as she sat down with her sister and they poured drinks and Carrie even had set out some cookies she’d made earlier after dinner, after work, too. She was silent, letting Cathy speak up first.
