Hannah's Stand: Roman Part II

Hannah and I woke the next morning, got dressed, and had breakfast with Lori in the kitchen.

"I'm so excited about today," Lori said between bites of her bagel. "Me and Lauren should be able to finish the guest house.

"Nice," Hannah said, smiling at her sister.

"Which reminds me," I said, "I need to make a phone call to Freddy." I met Hannah's gaze. "I'll step out into the corridor. I'll be back shortly. I kissed Hannah and stepped out of the kitchen to call Freddy. The phone rang once before he answered.

"What do you want now, Thaddeus?" Freddy asked me.

"Good morning to you as well," I said. "I need you to send Lori's things. I'll pay for-"

"My father told me not to have any dealings with you or Hannah," Freddy interrupted. "We're not sending anything."

I frowned. "You would treat your own sisters that way?" I asked Freddy, knowing the horrible truth of his answer.
