Georgia's English Rose (10 page)

I made coffee, went for a walk along the
beach and stopped at the deli on the corner and brought pastries
back.

Georgia turned the last page over and looked
up at me.

“Do you really love me as much as that,
Lil?” Her eyes glittered.

I nodded and smiled. “You know I do,
honey.”

I sound exactly like her now, and no one who
meets us would ever know I was once Georgia’s English Rose.
