"Well you certainly have a great taste in fashion." Rebecca replied. "I can see where Zoe gets it from." Jon blushed again.
"We have company already. Karyn Black is here...one of Zoe's old friends. Lovely girl, if a bit strange at times," Jon remarked.
"Karyn is here? How nice? You know, I have not had a chance to meet her."
"Well, you should have the chance. The kids are cleaning up dinner."
"Well, why don't we let them? We can sit and talk for a few minutes. You've probably been on your feet all day. Alex, sweetie...why don't you go into the kitchen and keep them company? You can all join us when you are done."
"Yes, Mommy," he said, practically skipping into the kitchen.
