![]() ![]() The three talked about their day, first starting with Sally. Water for herself and Sally, lemonade for Frank. Her mother nodded while getting up to serve everyone's drink. Sally thanked her with a smile, asking if she could have some water to drink, all while taking ahold of her fork and steak knife to methodically cut away at her medium-rare cooked steak. Marie began plating her daughter's plate first, giving her a bit of everything in small portions versus how much she or her father was going to be eating. Sally sat herself down at the side of the table, her parents taking the table ends. The whole time Marie was platting food and making sure they had what they needed, like napkins, butter, salt, and pepper. Once returning to the dinner table, she began helping Frank set the table, placing down plates, eating utensils, and ice-filled glasses. Pulling at his tie to loosen it, Frank began sniffing the air, mouth growing watery as he enjoyed the smell of their dinner being cooked. Bending down he grabbed the shoes and put them up against the wall out of the walkway, now slipping his feet in his house shoes. The man removed his coat and shoes at the door, placing the article of clothing on the coat hanger resting beside the front door along with his car keys. A lot of paperwork and a lot of words being exchanged with many employees and higher-ups, it was another typical day at work. It was a long day at the office, a lot of meetings for the company on which direction they were going to head in for the betterment of future sales. Sally's father, Frank, had just walked through the door, suitcase in hand as he released a relieved and tired sigh. The car door opened and closed with a padded thud followed by the garage door closing. The sound of an all too familiar car could be heard driving into the garage, turning off. The sky was now shifting from day to evening, blue washing out into light pastels of orange and pink. Rising from her pillow with a long yawn, Sally stretched her limbs, her attention now on the sky through the window facing the backyard. Sally grinned and hopped her doll over to continue their make-believe conversation. Unlike Sara and Sally who wore a form of dress, Jennie wore a red puff shirt with dark blue leggings and flats. Jennie was of Asian descent, creamy skin, and narrow almond brown eyes were framed by her long black hair being held up on the left with a snap clip. "My dear old friend from Dillards kept one in my size for me, can you believe that?" Replied Jennie now making her doll spin by twisting her extended arm reaching the sky. She wore her signature pastel green summer dress, white socks, and black buckle shoes. "I say Charlette! That new dress looks divine on you! Where EVER did you get it?" Exclaimed Sara while she turned her doll to match her words, her skin was fair with freckles dancing across her face and arms, bright red hair adorned her head that twisted up into a single braid. The three girls all chatted away as they made their barbie dolls move their arms to imitate them in their make-believe world. They did various games like hopscotch and jump rope, even dolls, and tag. Sally giggled as she played with her friends outside in her front yard.
