It started off okay, with the sun peeping in my bedroom window and the sounds of Scott singing badly while making French toast in the kitchen. Then I heard voices and I knew Leela must be with him. Usually when she stays over, she’s gone before I get up as she’s always going to meetings called breakfast networking. I had forgotten today was Saturday. ‘Come and get it!’ Scott yelled.I sighed and reluctantly pulled on the green and purple kimono robe Kylie had given me because she is too tall for it now, and sauntered into the kitchen.Scott and I had planned to go the beach on Fire Island today. We were going to drive to the ferry, taking Ben and some pastrami on rye sandwiches from Zabars. I hoped fervently that Leela did not plan to join us. She hates sand, I reminded myself.As I drizzled syrup over my French toast, Scott’s cell phone rang. It was his best friend, Jake, suggesting a spontaneous game of golf.‘Can’t do it,’ said Scott, ‘Evie and I are heading to the beach.’Leela intervened.‘Why don’t you go play golf with Jake, sweetheart?’ she said.
