“I wanted Chantel and Colin to be able to welcome guests into their home as a couple.
More specifically, I wanted Chantel to feel like the hostess, the woman of the house. Since
she came into our lives on a lie, she still sometimes feels like an imposter, like she’s not
really one of us, especially when there’s a gathering that includes people who don’t know
the details. It can be hard for her. As if making the transition from street cop to detective
wasn’t difficult enough, she’s living in a society that’s completely unfamiliar to her. If I was
there, people would naturally turn to me as the hostess and...”
It was the reason she’d given her brother and his wife for skipping out on the high-dollar
evening they’d been planning for several months. They hadn’t been happy with her
proposed absence, hadn’t thought it necessary, but they’d accepted her choice. Because her
reasoning was valid.
“But why are you here?” Lila asked.
Julie frowned. It wasn’t unusual for her to be at The Lemonade Stand. In a volunteer
capacity with the children, but also hanging out with the women. “I don’t understand.”
“It’s Friday night. You’re twenty-eight years old. Independently wealthy and lovely. You
could be doing any number of things for fun and relaxation. Okay, so you wanted to be
away from your home for the night. You could’ve booked yourself into a resort spa. Gone to
the theater. You could have been on a date.”
Julie didn’t respond to Lila. She couldn’t.
Inside her, everything was tense. Poised for escape.
“We need you here, Julie. You know that. And we all want you here. You bring a nurturing
and understanding and compassion that’s special and very, very precious to these women.
And to the staff.”
Julie raised her eyes to Lila’s. And was scared by the concerned crease in the other
woman’s brow.
“But we aren’t being a friend back to you,” Lila went on, “we aren’t good for you if you’re
using us as a hideout.”
Ironic, considering that the Stand existed so women had a place to hide and be safe while
they healed.
“If you need to be here, you are welcome. Always. I don’t ever want you to need to come
to us and then change your mind. Or your course of action. But if you need to be here, then
we need to be doing something to help you.”
The band around Julie’s chest relaxed a little.
“It helps me just to be here,” she assured the other woman.
