“I remember you,” Anna said. “You helped me when I was sad, remember?”

It took Grace a moment to realize what the girl meant. Last fall at the lodge Anna had been crying. Her parents were late and she was worried because her little sister had had to go to the hospital with a fever.

“That’s Emily,” Anna explained. “She wants to be an actress.”

“I think she’s a natural.”

Terry organized the cooking and the presentation of the food. The brothers-in-law greeted Grace with great enthusiasm and teased Nico for being the last single Vitelli.
