Whisper

She winked at me.

.

Evangeline saw this and gave her a strange look.

"Ok Whisper, what is going on?"

.

Whisper shook her head.

"What do you mean? There is nothing going on."

.

Evangeline was, most definitely, not convinced. She walked slowly toward her.

"Spill it kiddo. I can see that you and your Daddy are up to something."

.

"Mommy, seriously. It is not like you to be so suspicious.

Why ever would you suspect Father and I to be up to something?"

.

Evangeline laughed.

"Okay. Now I know something is going on.

Out with it."

.

Whisper looked up to the ceiling.

"Just remembered Mommy. I left something in the oven."

She disappeared.

.

"Whisper? Oh, Whisper?"

.

"Be back later Mommy."

.

Bobby looked at Jessie. "I just wish we knew what the hell was going on, half the time."

.

Jessie just laughed. "No you don't."

She turned her attention back to Evangeline.

"So? Your family hiding something?"

.

"I kinda think so. Whisper just left to check on something she had cooking in the oven."

.

"What's wrong with that?" Bobby wondered.

"Maybe she forgot about it or something."

.

The two women just shook their heads.

.

Jessie slapped Bobby playfully in the shoulder.

.

"What was that for?"

.

Jessie laughed.

"Just because I love you. And you are so naive."

.

I was standing in the far corner of the studio.

.

Evangeline started walking toward me.

"Ok mister, what is going on?" she asked, a strange look in her eyes.

.

"On? On what, sweetie?

Nothing. Nothing is on. Nothing at..."

I started walking in the opposite direction.

"Why would you say something is going on.

Bobby? Do you think something is going on?"
