Chapter 7

“Well ... she might,” Tyche said.

“Why would she do that?” Eva asked.

“Because Cassandran women like a high hard one ... just like mom,” she said.

Eva gave her a look ... the Mom-look. “Just how old are you?”

“I am four,” she held up four digits ... in the American style ... thumb tucked under and four fingers extended. It was kind of shaky but she got it done.

Krys realized what was coming next, “Don’t ask ... she’ll tell you.”

Too late ... and stubbornness, “What would a four year old know about the ‘high hard one?’”

Krys said, “They live on a sailboat ... not a lot of privacy.”

“Oh, my ... chaos.”

“Yup ... here on Earth,” said Tyke. Then she giggled.

Eva was the one who blushed.

“You’re right ... I shouldn’t have asked.”

“Asked what?” asked Tyche ... and grinned.

“She knows,” Eva said ... not a question.

Tyke asked, “What about my Daddy?”

“We don’t have him ... I think.” Eva said, “Let me check.” and she was gone.

A couple of hours later Cassie Flintkote was pushed through the not so secret door. Eva came right behind her towing Addie Resort-manager ... she had been promoted.

“I’m telling you ... I don’t have him ... wish I did ... but I don’t,” Addie said.

“You said that,” Eva said. “Now tell her.”

“I don’t have him,” she told Krys.

And Krys pointed at Tyche. “Don’t tell me ... tell her.”

“You? You’re JW’s child?”

“Yes,” Tyke said.

“Wow ... I’m going to have a beautiful baby girl,” Addie said, “May I name her after you?”
