Lilly and Betty were staying two houses away from each other. Their father bought Lilly a house and Betty a site just two houses from her elder sister.
After the Durban trip when Suzan was 6 years the 8 years that passed was not smooth sailing for Suzan. The deep end her mum told her about got engraved in her mind, each everything she was doing she wanted to go see the deep end. She kept wondering what the deep end was.
It was a Saturday morning, it was Lillian's birthday. A cake and snacks were bought and Cyan and Suzan were also invited to come celebrate their cousin's birthday at their aunt's house. Lillian and Suzan were not seeing eye to eye most of the time, so they only tolerated each other because they were siblings. Their mother's love was for Lillian and her children,Cyan included as he was the son that their mother didn't have. Bernard supported Betty mostly and he realized that his wife didn't like her.
