right, even though they were sisters they had the knack for not getting along at times, especially when it came to dealing with the restaurant. “Yeah, we would probably end up arguing with each other the entire time we’re working. Besides, everything is going really good, if you ever want to quit that job, we can help you out until you find another one.”
    “Thanks for looking out for me, but I’ll let you know if I get there.”
    “Well, the main reason why I was calling is because I got a call from a lawyer name Mr. Millan, he is the executor of Aunt Marlene’s estate. He called to tell me that Aunt Marlene had named us both in her will and he wanted us to come to Oak Glen to read it.”
    Aunt Marlene Pamelia thought with a sigh, she’d loved her so much. Just like how it had been with her and Veronica, both their mother and Aunt Marlene had been close sisters. She remembered spending her summers in Oak Glen when she was a child. They would always go into town to pick up fabric to make dresses and pants for their dolls. Sometimes, they would go to the candy kitchen, where Mr. Callahan and his wife would have every single candy imaginable along with yummy honey fudge and they would get the honey from the Hewitt Honey Farm. When they went home, she would have already prepared something for them for lunch as well as dinner. She would always make Pamelia’s favorite snack, fried green tomatoes, something she could eat forever until her stomach wanted to burst. But her favorite time with her Aunt was when she would braid her hair. Aunt Marlene was always gentle with her hair which was naturally curly and she would often braid it up during the summertime, because it would be too hot to have it down. She would listen to her hum some church hymn since she also made them go to church every Sunday. It was soothing and nurturing for her because Aunt Marlene never had children.
    “Both you and Veronica are my babies,” She would tell Pamelia whenever she would ask her about why she never had children. It wasn’t until she got older that she found the reason why Marlene never had children. It was due to something in her past that no one in the family discussed.
    “Are you there Pamelia?”
    “Oh yeah, I was just thinking is all. Did he say anything other than the fact he wants us to go to Oak Glen?”
    “He told me that if I talked with you that he wanted us to try and come on Friday, if possible.”
    “I’ll see if I can but I know it won’t be a problem for me since it’s dealing with family. Do you want to come and pick me up or we can just meet up that way?”
    “I’ll come and pick you up and we can ride there together. At least I can get a break from work and Chris.”
    Pamelia chuckled, “Well, let me know what time you want to come.”
    “Actually he said he wants us there by noon, it won’t take us more than two hours to get there and all, so I’ll come and get you around eight thirty or nine.”
    “All right then, I’ll talk with you later on in the week.”
    “Sure thing sis, love you bunch,”
    “Love you too, goodbye.” She hung up and continued eating her soup, thinking about times with Aunt Marlene and Oak Glen.
    When Pamelia got back to work, both Mr. Steiner and Virginia were heading out for their ‘lunch’ as Virginia came over and told her, “Beware of Mr. Dawson, he’s been on the war path again.”
    “When isn’t he on the war path?” She quipped as the couple walked out of the office.
    Soon, Elizabeth came from the back as well. “I’ll be back in fifteen minutes. I’ve got to run a few errands.”
    “Of course, I’ll see you then.” She went on with answering calls and sending off calls to Mr. Dawson but it was a call from a woman she’d sent over to him that really seemed to ruffle up his feathers.
    He made his way up to her desk, puffing like a steam engine, with a look in his eyes that showed his anger even more. “Who in the hell told you to send me a call from
