As far as Kathy knew, Holly and Lawrence were coming home just in time for Holly's mission trip to Guatemala on the 14th. In truth, with help from Amy and just a few white lies, they arrived the evening of the 2nd in time to help celebrate her LXVII birthday (Super Bowl ain't got nothing on her) Tuesday the 3rd.
We kidnapped her from work and went to George's for lunch and a drink, and then home to catch up on the past few months. It was a good lie.
