    a beautiful home that was quite picturesque. Frances did not seem to notice, continuing to talk with KJ as she sat on the couch. When she looked up at Simone, she simply smiled. Simone felt uncomfortable and did not know quite what to do. It took a moment for her general manners to kick in. “Coffee,” she blurted out. “Would you like some coffee Frances?” “Yes, I would like that.” Once again, Frances was relieved. Simone fumbled in the kitchen, but finally managed to get the coffee brewing. She knew how Frances liked it, lots of cream and lots of sugar. She had some biscotti in a Ziploc bag that she saved for those special moments when she needed a treat. So, she tried to arrange one on a makeshift saucer neatly and brought the coffee out to Frances with a napkin. To Simone’s dismay, Frances had already told KJ that she wanted to take him to the ice skating rink. KJ was already excited in expectation when he told his mother. Simone glared at Frances.

When KJ finally climbed down, he ran to his mother with his Santa picture in hand, almost knocking her down with enthusiasm. He gave her the biggest hug. He reached over and hugged Frances. “Group hug,” he announced. The skating rink was crowded and it was cold. The sky was a little grey but music and laughter was in the air. Frances took a guess at Simone’s shoe size and rented her skates as well. It had been forever since Simone had skated. KJ had been really little the last time they had come and she had just skated with him in her arms. KJ was extremely uncoordinated.
