Girl in the Shadows (Shadows 2) - Page 88

Mrs. Westington looked curious about the

phone call, but she didn't ask me anything after I hung

up and I didn't volunteer anything. It's better to say

nothing rather than lie. I thought, and returned to the

breakfast table to join Echo. Trevor hadn't shown up

for dinner the night before and had not come to

breakfast either. I imagined he just didn't want to see

much of Rhona. As it turned out, he wouldn't have

risked it this particular morning. She and Skeeter

didn't come downstairs until nearly noon.

When they finally appeared, they were both

dressed to go out, Rhona wearing one of her old

dresses and a light blue leather jacket I had wished

would fit me. and Skeeter in a relatively clean-looking

pair of jeans, a blue shirt, and a jean jacket with all

sorts of emblems with silly things written on them

like Down with Milk. Mrs. Westington was in the

kitchen. Echo and I were in the living room reading

and working on some of her English grammar

problems in preparation for her tutoring session the

next day..

"Don't bother making any breakfast for us.

Ma," Rhona called to Mrs. Westington from the

hallway. "Skeeter and I are going to eat at the Mars Hotel in Healdsburg and then look at some properties we found out about last night. We'll see you later.

Maybe Echo wants to go," she added.

"That girl needs to do her homework for

tomorrow's lessons,"

Mrs. Westington replied quickly.

"Oh. Well, we don't want to interrupt that now,

do we. Skeeter?"
