Lisa:  But Paris is Bette’s sister.

Bette:  I hired Paris before I knew she was my sister. It was a couple hours later that fact was revealed to both of us.

Lisa: I’m confused. How could that happen?

James: It’s a long story Lisa. I’ll tell you about it tonight when the kids go to bed. Okay?

Lisa:  You know about this?

Bette: Yes, James was told when Paris came on board as the curator. We felt it was essential that he know the whole story. After all, Paris was going to be his working partner in the gallery. We did not want James to be in the dark about Paris and I being sisters. But our relationship was not like other sisters, but we were still sisters none the less.

James: Once I tell you the whole story, you will understand. I have had a really good working relationship with Paris over the past 9 years or so. And now I am going to need to find and hire someone to replace her. You don’t have any more sisters, do you?

Tina: There’s Kit!

James:  She’s into music, isn’t she?

Bette: I do not think that Kit would be interested in a position at the gallery. She and Sonny are making plans to tour America. I believe they are both now officially retired. And to the best of my knowledge, we have no more siblings.

Paris and Jeanette came in about that time.

Tina: Why don’t you guys pour the coffee and take your places at the table and we will go ahead and serve breakfast. I’ll put Mary and Margaret’s breakfast in the warmer. Bette, you want to help me plate the food and serve it.  Here take this to the kids first.

They quickly plated the food and served it to their guest and sat and started their breakfast.

Paris and Jeanette looked pleasant and were somewhat quiet.

Lisa: So, are you two ready for the big day?

Paris (grinning):  Yes, we’re ready. Everything is in place. It just now needs to come together and happen.

James: Well, the staff is glad to have the weekend off. And being a holiday weekend, they are thrilled. But that is the last one until Christmas. Then they get a week off until New Years.
