The Healing (2011)
“Esther said as she and Bonnie sat at the kitchen table, having a cup of tea in Bonnie’s kitchen.
“Thanks for the reminder,” Bonnie said, watching the steam rise from her cup. “I’ve been so busy with things around here all week that I’d almost forgotten about the birthday supper. I’ll have to go shopping tomorrow morning and see what I can find to give Marla for a present.” She lifted her teacup and took a drink. “Do you know what she might like?”
Esther blotted her lips with a napkin. “I’m givi...ng Marla a drawing tablet and some colored pencils. Suzanne said she’d bought a couple of puzzles, and I think Titus is giving her a sled, which I know she really wants. I’m not sure what, if anything, Samuel will give her.”
“I’ll need to get her something different than the others, then. Any suggestions at all?” Bonnie asked.
“She might like a doll or a game.”
Bonnie gave a nod. “I’ll drive to Hopkinsville in the morning and see what I can find.”
“The party’s a surprise, so I haven’t said anything about it to any of Samuel’s kids, because they’d probably tell Marla.”MoreLess
