“I wish I could have gone to your party and met Anne’s mysterious boyfriend,” Charlie grumbled as the girls were recapping their break over lunch on the first day back.
“You went skiing,” Nathan countered back. “I wish I could have gone skiing.”
“You would have missed my party,” Robin replied, poking him on the arm without looking at him.
“I could have come back before the party,” he shrugged. “Although, Derek was pretty cool. We talked about sports while the girls forced us to go shopping for Anne.”
“She needed a dress,” Robin interjected again. “It’s not like you had to carry our bags or anything.” Turning to Charlie she added, “We left them at the food court. When we came back there were uneaten pizza crusts, pretzel wrappers, no less than six drink cups, and a melting milkshake on the table.”
Shrugging, Nathan pointed out, “We got hungry.”
Anne added, “They did leave us brownies and some cookies from that place you like.”
Smiling softly, Robin nodded her head before leaning into Nathan. “That they did.”
But the look on Nathan’s face made Anne wonder if the girls had gotten the sweets only because the boys hadn’t eaten them before the girls had returned.
