We sat on the steps of the house, looking up at the clear blue sky and the patterned white clouds. The sun was setting behind the green mountain to the west.
"Allison, are you having fun on this vacation?"
She looked directly at me with her beautiful clear blue-green eyes.
"Yeah."
"Oh I'm so glad. What do you like?"
There was a moment of contemplative silence. Then, without any uncertainty at all: "Bagels".
She got up and walked away, looking for the cat.
