Bill Wolff: "This...is Harpers Falls. The first part of Harpers Falls is brought to you by Metamucil. And you could stay regular for the rest of your life. And by… all-temperature Cheer, for the way you wash now! In cold water, warm and hot. All-Tempa Cheer! With Susannah Lucas headed to Harpers Falls to be with Anyssa for a few days and conduct business with the McKinley Group, Ellen was left behind because of her obligations to night school and the community center. Originally Susannah thought she’d have Ellen stay with the Petterinos, but they decided Ellen was old enough to hold down the fort on her own with Giovanni and Rose looking in on her. As she prepared for sleep, Ellen curled up on the bed and took out her cell phone. She had Dylan on speed dial and she toyed with whether to call him. Luckily, Dylan answered the phone at his residence. “Hey, sis,” Dylan said as he picked up the phone. Of course, Ellen and Dylan really weren’t brother and sister, but they were close like family. She recalled the day of Anyssa and Bryan’s wedding, when she shared several dances with Dylan and Alex -- some slow, some fast -- and since then the three e-mailed each other back and forth. Ellen hoped to repeat what happened last year, when she and Susannah were in Boston on Christmas. “Hi.” Ellen sat down with a bottle of soda and leaned her head against the propped-up pillow. “Isn’t it late for you to be calling?” Dylan laughed. “Naa,” Ellen smiled. “You forget two things. Isn’t it a girl’s prerogative to be on the phone when she’s 16? Besides, we’re an hour behind out here.” “Sixteen. Ha,” Dylan said. “You’re more like my older sister, so wise beyond her years.” “Are you okay?” Ellen said, a couple of tears rolling down her cheek. “I heard the horrible news and I wanted to whack the guy that did this to you over his head.” “Thanks,” Dylan said. “I think the Harpers Falls citizens police did the job.” “I know you can’t talk about it, but you’re seeing a doctor?” “I can talk. It helps…” Dylan’s voice trailed away. The two spent the next 30 minutes discussing what took place. Ellen knew Dylan’s history and she couldn’t help but ache for him. At the end, she wiped away tears and she put forth a brave smile. “I’m thinking of you,” Ellen said. “I hope you know that. And I hope to get out there again at Christmas.” “Maybe we’ll all pack up and come out to Somerset,” Dylan said. “You know something?” “What?” “You’re going to make some guy very happy eventually. You’re a good listener.” “Coming from you… it’s a compliment. I’m not actively looking for a guy, but if you know the Jonas Brothers…” That had to make Dylan laugh. He was in hysterics at that comment, a far cry from the cry he had earlier. Ellen knew how to make someone giggle. (Mid-break announcement. Bill Wolff: "Stay tuned for the next part of Harpers Falls." Bill Wolff: "And now...the next part of Harpers Falls." In the Harper mansion, Anyssa stopped by with a giant mug of hot chocolate for Susannah, who had just come from a long day of meetings with the McKinley Group that included dinner downtown. “I see your room is ready,” Anyssa said. “Up for a chat?” “You know I’m up for talking to you… always,” Susannah said. “Come, have a seat.” Anyssa headed over to the table as Susannah brought her hot chocolate over. Slipping out of her shoes, she tucked her legs under her and gripped the mug like she’d been waiting for this a long time. “Mmmm,” Susannah said. “You’re going to tell me this is homemade, right?” “Naaa. Store bought. We cheated,” Anyssa laughed. “You all right leaving Ellen alone for a few days?” “She’s up to it,” Susannah said. “I think it makes her feel like a big girl. I have to let the adoption papers work their way through the system, but this makes her believe she has responsibility. Which she does. I gave her a list of stuff to do around the house.” “It will do her good,” Anyssa said, drinking from her own beverage. “It’s doing Dylan a lot of good to see you here.” “I would have brought Ellen, but after all the stuff I went through earlier this year I didn’t want to take her out of night school or away from the community center. She’s making some good money working there…” “You do have a young version of yourself on your hands,” Anyssa said. “I just wish she’d been here for Dylan.” “She texted me that she was going to call him tonight. I know it will be good to hear her voice.” Susannah thought for a second. “Do you think…” “If he were straight, he’d be too old for her,” Anyssa said with a laugh. “Don’t give yourself more reason to worry. She‘s still not 17 yet. Give her time.” “Just to have her there as a friend. She’s like family to me.” “To all of us,” Anyssa said, clinking Susannah’s cup. “Just like you are.” No more words needed to be said. The friendship said it all. Bill Wolff: "Join us each weekday at this time, for the continuing story of Harpers Falls." **Be sure to watch the new series, Tainted Love.
