Change of Heart
“Gil had been annoyed when she said she had to go, but it was an important show and she felt it her responsibility to take the Hilltop Farm Show Team. She also took Czar and collected two blue ribbons herself in the Open Jumper classes.
She got home at five o’clock, in time to eat something, bathe, pack a suitcase—they were staying overnight in the New York apartment—and change into her gown. Gil and Jennifer had spent the day at home, lazing around the pool, and Gil had given Jennifer a tennis ...lesson. The little girl told Cecelia all about it as she sat on Cecelia’s bed and watched her dress. They appeared to have had a very pleasant day together and Cecelia felt badly that she had not been at home. They needed time together as a family, and they seemed to get it so seldom. Whenever Gil managed to be home, she was out.
“You look super, Cecelia,” Jenny said, staring in awe at her young stepmother.
Cecelia regarded her own reflection with some satisfaction. The simple halter-top white gown looked very dramatic against the golden tan of her bare arms and shoulders.MoreLess
