Chapter 58

This has to be a dream, Frank thought.

“Good morning,” he mumbled.

Everyone turned to look at him. A chorus of good morningswelcomed him.

“Glad you could make it,” Bill said jovially. “We were beginning to think you’d sleep right through breakfast.”

Frank looked around the room at the smiling faces. He gave his head the slightest shake to make sure he was awake before walking to the counter and pouring himself a cup of coffee. Bill grinned at him and winked. Frank returned the smile and sat down at the table with his father.

“Bill was telling us more about that play you were in and how you’ve become friends,” his father said.

“Yes,” his mother added. “You two have had some interesting adventures.”

“Oh?” Frank looked at Bill questioningly.

Bill made no comment and continued to stir the eggs. Frank smiled. Whatever Bill’s plan, it seemed to be working. He was winning Frank’s family over.
