A heavy sigh. "That means...yeah...we're probably on the Do Not Invite list."

"Lucia's nice and all, but they thought WE would tell before she did? Ouch."

Another look at the phone. "He wants to meet. Where do you think?"

"Works for me.... Dagmar can pin him while We make him confess..." Siv says "Wait, that's probably wrong isn't it?"

She grunts.

"Tempting. But where?"

"The lakefront? The pier?"

"Lakefront pier works. Most of the grumps dont' go there and they're used to wilders hanging there without questions"

"And it's late season. Most swimmers are done." She texts.

"Sure, fine."

"Okay, he's on his way. To the lake!"

She leads the way.

And to the lake!
