"We love her," Josh said simply.

"Yeah, we do. But things change, and before much longer we're all going
to be moving in our own directions.

You've already started," she pointed out. "Mister Harvard Law. And
Kate's chafing at the bit for college, Laura for marriage."

"What are you chafing for, duchess?"

"Everything, and then some." Her smile turned sultry. She might have
pushed the flirtation a bit farther, but Kate swung up and pried them
apart.

"Sexual rituals later," she muttered. "Look, they're going off." She
scowled in Laura's direction, watching her walk away hand in hand with
Peter. "Maybe we should go after them. Do something."

"Such as?" But understanding, Margo draped an arm over Kate's narrow
shoulders. "Whatever, it won't make any difference."

"I'm not going to stand around and watch, then." Disgusted, Kate peered
up at Josh. "Let's go sit in the south garden for a while. Josh can
steal us some champagne."

"You're under age," he said primly.

"Right, like you've never done it before." She smiled winningly. "Just a
glass each. To toast Laura. Maybe it'll bring her luck, and what she
wants."

"One glass, then."

Margo frowned, noting the way he scanned the crowd. "Looking for cops?"

"No, I thought Michael might show after all."

"Mick?" Kate angled her head. "I thought he was down in Central America
or somewhere, playing soldier of fortune."

"He is--was," Josh corrected. "He's back, at least for a while. I was
hoping he'd take me up on the invitation." Then he shrugged. "He's not
much for this kind of thing. One glass," he repeated, tapping a finger
on Kate's nose. "And you didn't get it from me."

"Of course not." After tucking her arm through Margo's, Kate wandered
toward the gaily lighted gardens. "We might as well drink to her if we
can't stop her."
