I found Ann in the kitchen cooking.
After our initial greeting I volunteered to help with anything she needed done though housework was not high on my list of priorities.
My Sister-in-law smiled and said, “Believe it or not but I have everything done," and thanked me for volunteering my services.
Soon the conversation lagged as we didn't have a lot in common with a 15 year age gap so I was glad when Ann suggested that I go ahead and look around the rest of the house on my own. "You didn't see much of it when you were here after we moved in," she added giving me a knowing look. She picked up a spoon and started stirring the simmering red sauce in a kettle on the stove.
Ann was Italian and made the best Spaghetti I had ever had. She asked me to stay for supper saying that she would drive me home later because it would be dark.
I readily agreed not knowing that soon I would not be able to spend one minute longer than I absolutely had to in that house.
