“I said as the doorbell chimed, yelling for Heather up the dual staircases that flowed elaborately down to the first floor of my home. A few seconds later, she came cascading down the right side of one of the staircases, holding on to the wrought-iron railing as if she were prime-time royalty.
“Wu-Wu loves you, boo,” she said, waving and blowing kisses and smiling wide with each step. She stopped, placed a hand up over her heart. “I’ve waited all my life for this moment. I’d like to thank the Academy.”
“Heather, will you snap out of it!”
She giggled. “Oh, right-right. Let me bring it back. I almost got caught up in a new sitcom I have in my head.”
I sucked my teeth. “Well you need to save that. Now is not the time to be thinking about Web sites. Right now I need you on deck here.”
The doorbell chimed again.
“Oh, and trust me. This is right where I want to be,” Heather said as she walked over to me. She flashed me a toothy smile, then followed behind me to the door.
