Newton Neighbors (New England Trilogy) - Plot & Excerpts
Cathi said, but Maria knew she didn’t mean it. Her eyes always glazed over when she was being insincere, and right now they were as frosty as the sidewalk outside. “Oh my God, is that mink? I haven’t seen this before.” She pawed one of the soft arms of Maria’s new coat. “It’s darling.” Her eyes were pierced with clarity now but she sounded ridiculously pretentious. “Just a little Christmas present from Rick,” Maria said and slid her arms out of the coat. “Darling.” Maria dropped the word at Cathi’s feet like a snowball. Rick stepped in to kiss the hostess on the cheek. “This is my first time in your new house, Cathi. Congrats. It looks amazing.” Maria knew he was trying to smooth things over between the women. He was good at that. “Thanks, Rick. I must say we’re very happy here. There’s so much space, the location is fabulous, as you know, and the views of the lake? Well, they just take my breath away.” Maria tried to suppress the annoyance she felt toward her friend.
