Cindy gave me directions to Kelly’s house, I hopped out to have a brief chat to Kelly’s mother, who had come out to the gate to see her daughter off, asking her when I needed to return Kelly, “that’s up to you, I think she’s hoping to stay two nights if it’s ok with you” she said, “she can stay as long as she likes Dianne, I’m happy to take her to and from school and work as needed, “ahh, that’s mighty generous, I’ll have a chat to Bill, we were planning on heading to the city to do a few things next week, I’ll let you know what we decide” she thanked me, Kelly waving to her mother as we drove off.
