LA Times 6

“I think your sister is dealing with something” Tasha said later as she lay in bed with Kit.

“What do you mean?”  Kit asked snuggling into Tasha’s side.

“Well, wait, Kit you cannot say anything to her, promise?” 

“Of course I promise baby,” Kit said smiling.

“No, no of course.  You promised last time when she seeing that girl Charlotte and I told you not to say anything about Charlotte’s ‘history.’”
