Herkimer Bitterman stopped by his dad's house to drop off his rent check. Dad invited him in, so they were sitting at the kitchen table having coffee. Herk's stepmother, Lyla, came in, "Hi, Herky! So are you going to our twentieth class reunion on Saturday?"
"Are you?"
"Sure. I wouldn't miss it for the world."
"Then no," said Herkimer.

I didn't get this at first - when re-read I noted 'stepmother' Aha - now I get it.
Grace, *snicker* It has been a couple years since Ly was introduced, so it was not really nice of me to slip her in here again, unannounced. The Bittermans may be around occasionally.
It all makes sense to me.
Chuck, it is a tense situation.
