I’ve been taking her over the weekend," another said.
“I also like the library, so maybe it’s about rostering out the costs. There are fifteen of us regulars. If we roster it out, it would be twenty dollars once and then nothing for that person until fifteen weeks, that’s almost four months.”
“Or we could all just bring a dollar fifty each a week. By fifteen that’s twenty-two fifty.”
“Yes, even two dollars a week. That’s thirty dollars, more than enough for the room, new movies; and refreshments.”
“I think we can do this,” Janine added counting the money in her head and rethinking her budget, “I’d be prepared to pay two dollars a week for this group to continue.”
John smiled and so did Leanne; both knew how important this group had been for Janine, in some ways it had saved her. From loneliness. From despair. It had saved them as well. So much had been added to each of their lives they didn’t want to let go either.
“Let’s vote!” said John, arm already up. “For those who want to continue the group, with Marian as our host, if you’re prepared that is,” he looked at Marian for approval. Her smile said it all, “put your hands up if the two dollars a week idea is a goer.”
All hands shot up. Janine’s heart was so full, she felt it might burst. She saw the tears in Leanne’s eyes and rubbed her hand up and down her best friends arm. Marian had tears too.
“It’s all agreed then,” John spoke firmly, “no now more blubbering, lets watch this damned movie and enjoy our last day here before Christmas.”
Marian popped in Hepburn’s 1941 Oscar winner, The Philadelphia Story, and the room hushed into a happy silence.
