Quietly, all the girls came to the table for brunch. After fifteen minutes, the butler announced the arrival of a visitor and Lenore Pieszecki followed by the limousine driver carrying two suitcases entered the room running toward Peggy’s arms.

Lenore: “my dear Peggy it’s great to see you after so many weeks”

Peggy: “it’s always a pleasure having you in this house, honey”

Alice was appalled, she couldn’t believe it; her mother didn’t even look at her and is showing such a display in front of her friends.

Alice: (whispering to Helena) “she is ignoring me”

Helena: (smiling) “they are old ladies, we should let them enjoy their time”

After the hug, Lenore turned to the audience looking for her daughter.

Lenore: “Alice, there you are; it’s been a while since no seen you, little one”

Some partially suppressed laughter was heard.

Shane: (softly murmuring to Alice) “little one”

The muttered words were heard by every girl and Dana, looking at the floor trying to contain her laugh, suddenly exploded in a huge belly laugh, followed by the rest of the girls.

Peggy: “well, for all of us mothers, our children will be always little ones; okay, why we don’t eat”

After brunch, Louise called the covenant while Peggy and Lenore went to the annex for the rest of the day. Bette and Tina looked for the main bedroom on the top floor and Alice and Dana did the same.

In the studio, Louise could finally get on the phone with the person she was looking for.

Louise: “hello, Tasha, we are in San Diego ready to try”

Tasha: “good, just on time; tomorrow you should bring all of them and the slayer too, we are short of one person, do you know of anyone who could join us?”

Louise: “there is a girl in the group, she was attacked by vampires but only her friend was bitten”

Tasha: “she could help, ask her, please”

Louise: “sure, when we should be there?”

Tasha: “tomorrow early, I have a van, I could pick up everybody, how many are you?”

Louise: “we’re nine”

Tasha: “fine, I have room for twelve…, ask them to bring their clothes for 10 days”

Louise: “would you have rooms for everybody?”

Tasha: “we have a big lot where we all must stay”
