Hmm. The girl makes a good point. If Ntatemogolo had been around immediately after my mother died, things might have been different. Now that I’m a teenager they think I can handle their animosity. I can, but I shouldn’t have to.
I give Lebz’s arm an appreciative pat. “Thank you, Doctor.”
“The first session’s free,” she jokes. “Hey, I’m hungry. You want some snacks?”
“Yes, please.”
On the way to the till we pick up some chips and drinks. While standing in line, I notice a gorgeous couple walking past the shop, holding hands and gazing hungrily at each other.
I poke Lebz in the ribs to make her turn. “Kencer!”
Her eyes light up, then narrow. “Those two are joined at the lip.”
I raise my eyebrows. Usually Lebz would dash out to say hello, but it appears Spencer’s presence is enough to put her off. I glance at the couple as they move further away. Kelly looks fabulous in a bright blue maxi dress, but it seems to sag slightly on her frame. “Is it just me or has she lost weight?”
“It’s not just you,” Lebz assures me. “It’s funny – Kelly never diets. She doesn’t have to. She must be lovesick.”
A funny feeling comes over me. I remember how weak Kelly seemed at the party, and now she’s losing weight as well?
“I know what you said about Spencer’s temper, but Kelly seems happy,” Lebz continues.
There’s a sliver of doubt there. I latch onto it. “You don’t trust him, do you?”
She moves closer to the till with a sigh. “I just…I don’t know. Maybe hanging around you has made me paranoid.”
