Clairece wakes to her phone vibrating across the nightstand. She picks it up and answers it.
"Hello." Clairece says in sleepy voice.
"How on earth do you get a body like that sleeping so late?" Evelyn asks her.
"I get up in ten minutes. You are up because you want to talk about the video." Clairece snickers and slides from the bed. She begins down the stairs. "Just let me get my coffee."
"Let me tell you about my mother. She has me fixed up with some man for Christmas dinner." Evelyn begins to complain.
"Hell Evelyn, if he's hot you can at least get some dick." Clairece says putting her mug under the coffee maker. She flings it open, changes the pod, and slams it shut. She picks the largest size and turns it on. "I have no prospects at all."
"Maybe Lisa will let you fuck Greg, or you could call Carl. You know he would be happy to." Evelyn snickers on the phone.
"I'm hanging up Evelyn." Clairece says.
"No wait I was only joking." Evelyn says.
"I would take Luna over either one of those two. One is my sisters simp and the other is a horndog to the tenth degree." Clairece tells her.
"Speaking of Luna. Did you ever finish reading her diary?"
"No, when I got to the part about the tape, I forgot all about it." Clairece tells her. "But I'll finish it today. I'm also curious about the empty snow globe. Maybe she wrote something in there about it. I just can't believe she came here to kill me." Clairece says.
"Well, you said she also had a spell book as well. Maybe between the two you can figure it out." Evelyn suggests to her. "When is Lisa coming up there?"
"In two weeks. I can't believe it's almost here." Clairece tells her. That reminds me I need to ask if She will bring the Christmas stuff. It's in the attic in Connecticut. I'm sure she will." Clairece says making a mental note.
"Now that you're good and awake. You are a cruel twisted little bitch, and I love you. I can't believe you did that to me." Evelyn tells her.
"What are you talking about. I didn't make you do anything. You got dominated by a video, damn I'm good." Clairece snickers. "I was hoping you would like it."
"I assure you I did. I never come so hard in my life." Evelyn confesses.
"Well, the next time you come over I can do it in person. Unless his dick is good." Clairece tells her.
"Who are you talking about?"
"The man your mother set you up with." Clairece says. "You know the one you are standing me up for." Clairece pauses. "Maybe I could send you both a video. It could test his freak and see if he's a good match for you."
"Don't get ahead of yourself. I haven't met him yet. He might be an ass." Evelyn slows her friend down.
"I will tell you this. If he's in your bed Oscar won't come to see you. You might like having the real thing."
"You might be right; I will keep an open mind. Well, I'll let you go I have to go to work." Evelyn says with despair.
"That's why I love my job; I get to work at home." Clairece giggles. "I love you and will talk to you later."
"Love me too. I'll talk to you then."
Clairece hangs up with Evelyn and dials her sister's number. It rings twice and she picks up.
"Hello Clairece, what can I do for you?" Lisa says in her normal cold tone.
"I was calling about mom's Christmas stuff in the attic in your house." Clairece says with no surprise. "I was hoping that I could have it and if you would bring it with you when you come?"
"Yes, you can have it. Me and Greg planned to get new decorations. He has already put it in his Bronco." Lisa says as if it wasn't good enough for her.
"What, is he going to drive around for two weeks with it in his car?" Clairece asks confused.
"No, he has the bronco and the I8. Maybe you should think about another car. That big truck must be hideous to drive. I understand it's useful in the winter, but you should consider something else for the rest of the year." Lisa says in her normal demeaning tone.
"Maybe I should Lisa. I have always wanted a sports car. I should be able to afford it."
"With what the publishing house pays you and how little you spend you should. Oh, and congratulations. Your new book is another hit. The sales have been amazing." Lisa says as if talking to a stranger. "Well, I have things to do unlike some. So, I will see you in two weeks." Lisa says. "We also need to discuss how you will deliver future manuscripts since mom isn't here to do it for you anymore." In a cold business manner then hangs up.
"Bye to you too you fucking bitch." Clairece says before banging her phone on the table. "I'm your fucking sister." Then she thinks of Luna and what she said and stops banging her phone.

She goes upstairs to the safe and pulls the two books from the safe. Then she picks up the box with Oscar in it and opens it. "You might be amazing in bed but outside of it you're a fucking dick." Then she closes the lid and shoves him back in the safe. She slams it shut and goes back to the living room.
She begins reading where she left off. Luna's entries continue to become darker. She could see how badly she became obsessed with Oscar. She was following him around town.
