Since I did tell my daughter that she could take time to think things through, I could not very well pester her to come home without breaking my promise. Fortunately, I had Joseph as my source of information. He told me Summer was doing relatively well, and my worries eased slightly after that.
New Year’s Eve rolled around, and the city was awash in festive colors and lights. High-spirited, Audrey and Gregory had decorated the house with banners and balloons, and I could not help but think how much nicer it would be if Summer were here to celebrate the new year with us.
Audrey noticed the distinct lack of her sister when it was dinner time. Though it was not unusual for Summer to come home late, it seemed to have occurred to Audrey that she had not seen her sister at all for the past few days. “Mommy, Daddy, where’s Summer? Is she coming back soon?”

I hid a single coin in one of them. Whoever found it while eating the pudding will have good luck for the whole of next year!”
“Really?” Audrey’s eyes sparkled in excitement, and she made a beeline to the puddings at once. “I’m going to look for the coin now!”
“What are you going to do? Eat all of them by yourself?” I laughed, teasing.
