Chapter 18

Dusty sighed and sat down, the old man looked several years older than when I felt saw him.

"It's fine Dusty, these things take time" I massaged his stiff shoulders.

"I know, it's just that, the look in his eyes were exactly like that time..."

"Hush-hush Dusty, stop worrying yourself" Lena rubbed his almost bald white hair.

"I agree, there's still plenty of time" I smiled and patted his hands.

"Thanks Lene, you're such a sweet girl"

"Awwn, I'm blushing hard" I held my head in my hand and pretended to cover my face from embarrassment.

Lily and Linnea burst out laughing.

"Uh-huh, Okay. I'll tell her, bye" Lena put down the phone and threw me a piercing look.

"What?"

"Who's Felix?" The group turned to look at me inquisitively.

"Uhh... A friend" I answered a little hesitant unsure of where she was going with the question.

"Really?" Linnea gave me those soul searching, can not lie to me eyes.
