"Who was that on your MT just now?" asked April of Kevie.

Kevie placed his mini-tab back on the dining room table. "I'm still not used to these contraptions. That was my mom. Our dog, Doc, came back and brought Louie with him. But the family's staying in Elgin tonight. They're having a meeting tomorrow. She suggested we order a pizza if we get hungry. She also said to watch out for Katya and Cyrus who should be returning from the airport tonight."

"Buggers!" exclaimed April. "I'll miss having mum rub my back at bedtime. It helps me get to sleep."

"Well, I'm not Grandma Cheryl, but if you want, I could come and do it."

"You're a dear boy. Would you mind helping me up? I think I'd like to sit up in that chair for a while. Also, do you mind switching off the holoset? Gosh, I'm a pain in the neck, aren't I? Sorry."
