Chapter 20

Keith gave the balloons to Bobby to tie on her bed keeping his other hand behind his back. “I have another surprise for you.”

“It isn’t another shot, is it?” Kitty asked in a wary voice.

“No.” Keith pulled the stuffed bear he hid behind him.

“Thank you, Uncle Keith and Uncle Bobby,” Kitty said in a small voice.

Bobby said, “I know you miss Eloise. I took a picture of her in her sunbonnet for you.” Bobby tacked the picture of Eloise onto her corkboard.

“Davey, here, can lie beside blue bunny until you get back to Eloise.” Keith handed her the bear, and Kitty smiled weakly at him.

Keith and Bobby finally convinced Jason and Zach to go at least as far away as the Trenton Marriott to get some sleep.
