Nan was telling Neena that she had something very important that she needed to say to her. Goldie could have visitors starting tomorrow and maybe they could go there together and the three of them could sit like they’d done when Sam died, and she could say it then. “Very important, Neena. Something I should have said years ago. I was wrong not to. I was so very wrong.”
Then Bow Peep was right up on them talking fast. “My little lamb, you’re overdue your healing vibe,” he said. “And I trust from the looks of love in both your eyes that sis and the baby are well. Are they well?”
Nan was looking at Bow Peep with her mouth hanging open. What kind of people was Neena taking up with now? she thought.
“Oh, and little lamb, the tiger tiger burning bright says he surely hopes he might see you tonight.” Then Bow Peep turned to Nan and extended his hand. “Maynard’s the name, though they call me Bow Peep, and healing’s my game. And I see I’ve still got quite a bit of work to do.”
