Sunny Garden

    I call Bagelos on my mobile before I forget, and I tell them Ash is sick and won't be in for the next couple of days.
    And then I call my parents, and I tell them everything's okay. I ask how Lily is and my mother says, Fine. Slept like a baby. Your father's gone toy shopping, but she's still here. She's looking over this way right now, waving. That's 'hello', I think. So how are you, really? You've had quite a night.
    Yeah. I'm fine. Actually, I honestly am. I'll tell you more when I get there. Tell the Bean I'll be there soon. Tell her we're going to play with the ducks. (p. 353-54)
