Episode 80: The Last To Know

"Mary it is so nice to see you’re well enough to come for dinner," Iris Landon announced bringing the last dish of green beans to the crowded table.

"I just like to see Ava get out more, and she’ll do that only on days when I’m feeling better," Mary replied to Bowie’s mother, as Avalon buttered a roll, pretending not to hear.

"Aren’t you seeing that young man-, um Sebastian? He doesn’t seem like much of a homebody to me," Hugh remarked. "Pass the salt please Bowie."

Mary’s fork rattled against the china plate. "Avalon, when were you planning on telling me that you’re dating Sebastian Marques, is he the boy that drives you home at all hours of the night?" She asked, her voice quavering.

Ava made a face, and kicked Bowie under the table, was there anything he didn’t tell his parents; maybe Iris knew her bra size. "I don’t have anything to tell you mom, you know that I work for Mrs. Marques, I’m bound to run into him once in awhile, that’s all."

Iris took one look at Mary’s pallid face and decided to change topics. "Mary have you heard about Lila Benson, that young lady who worked at the market with the kids? Well, she’s got herself some big secretarial job, a nice new apartment, we’re all really proud of her aren’t we Bowie?"

Bowie lifted his head and gave a little nod as Avalon reached over and squeezed his hand; his father Hugh dropped the big news. "We’ve pretty well decided to sell Landon Market."

"I think I’m going to throw up." Bowie replied.
