Frankie And Joely (2015)
“Jill’s gone overboard. She cooked all afternoon and the kitchen is so humid that each time Frankie grabs something else to bring outside, she has to drink a glass of water.
‘It’s just that one left, Frankie,’ says Jill, manoeuvring her to the huge bowl of potato salad.
‘Wow! How many people are coming?’ ‘It’s just us for a special New Year’s Eve dinner.’ Jill smiles. ‘I like your dress, by the way.’ Frankie looks down. She’s wearing a fifties ball gown that she found in an op shop. It’s... black and strapless and short because she cut the bottom off.
‘Thanks. It was five bucks,’ says Frankie, smoothing down the skirt.
‘Well, it looks more than that on you,’ says Jill.
Frankie laughs and reaches for the potato salad, but before she can pick it up, Jill stops her. ‘Just go easy on Thommo,’ says Jill quietly. ‘He’s got a sweet heart.’ She moves away so Frankie can take the bowl.MoreLess
