and looked at his limp body.
    â€œMen—so weak,” she said as she lay near him. “I guess I have to put up with your ass for the rest of the night.”
    Before she went to bed she took a snapshot of the two of them in a compromising position.

    T he sun beamed through the sheer panel curtains in Milandra’s bedroom. She awakened to the aroma of turkey sausages and bacon, cooked by the servants.
    She sat up, stretched her arms, and yawned before she got out of bed. Sliding her feet into her slippers, she went to wake up her sisters. She called. “Kenley and Noelle; it’s morning time.”
    Noelle awakened right away, but Kenley took her time getting up. The ladies went to their own bathrooms to wash their faces and brush their whitened teeth.
    Making their way to the lower level of the house, dressed in white linen bathrobes, they entered the kitchen to see that Elsa, the head servant, had garnished the table with a bowl of assorted fruits, buttered biscuits, and a blend of juices in crystal pitchers.
    Elsa ran over and gave each one of them a tight squeeze. She wiped her eyes with the bottom of her apron. “Lord, I barely made it through last night. I’m sure going to miss your daddy and mama,” she wept.
    Kenley started to tear up. Elsa patted her on the back. “I don’t mean to get you upset, baby girl. Go on and have a seat. Put some food in your belly.”
    The sisters sat at the table. Elsa stood over them and blessed the food. Another servant came behind her and scooped grits ontotheir plates. They helped themselves to the rest of the food, pampering their tongues with the taste of Elsa’s morning breakfast.
    â€œEverything is delicious, Elsa,” Kenley said.
    â€œTake your time,” Milandra said as she watched her sister gulp down her food.
    Of course, Kenley finished her meal first. She was about to get up out of her seat when Milandra announced: “We have an appointment right after breakfast.”
    â€œI’m going to stay in my room and return my friends’ calls,” Kenley informed.
    â€œNo, you’re not. They’re calling to be nosy for their parents,” Milandra replied.
    â€œKenley, I do understand you want to talk with your friends, but I believe Milandra is right. For now, stay away from talking with your friends. We sisters can do things together today,” Noelle said as she got up. “What do you have planned for us?” she said, directing her attention to Milandra, who had already finished her food and stood up.
    â€œI have three massage therapists waiting for us in the Spa Suite. This will help us to deal with the loss of Mother and Father,” Milandra said, tossing her French roll up in a ponytail.
    â€œFine, let’s make our way there,” Noelle said. Her hair was, as Kenley’s was, pulled back from her face.
    Kenley said nothing. She followed her sisters to the lower level of the house, but lagged behind.

    Three masseurs were in the massage salon of the Spa Suite to relieve the tension built up in the sisters. There were three tables in a row in the room, where Alana and her oldest two girls had enjoyed getting massages together several times before. Kenley,however, always found her way to the meditation salon of the Spa Suite. She would drown herself in the softness of the pillow-top mattress and plush covering on the king-sized bed. Or at times, she found her way into the spa tub with aromatherapy-scented bath oils.
    Today was no exception. Kenley tiptoed into the meditation salon, removed her bathrobe, and jumped onto the bed, covering herself with organic linens.
    Noelle and Milandra made their way to the massage tables. They removed the white linen bathrobes that they wore and settled under a white sheet.
    Milandra was the first to notice that her baby sister was not on her table. “Kenley, come in here,” she called.
    â€œI’m
