Love, Rosie (184 page)

Greetings
from
Aruba!

Having
a
wonderful
time
here
in
paradise!

Hope
all
is
well
with
you,

Lots
of
love,

Mum
and
Dad

You
have
received
an
instant

Watch
out
Ireland
here
we
come!

Here
who
come?

Gary
and
Ruby
Minnelli.

You’re
keeping
the
name
I
see?!
What
are
Gary
and
Ruby
Minnelli

up
to
now?

Yes
we’re
keeping
the
name
and
Gary
doesn’t
even
mind
because
it

means
that
he’s
in
disguise
and
none
of
his
work
colleagues
or
friends

will
recognize
him.
The
All
Ireland
Salsa
dancing
championships
are

on
in
a
few
months
from
now.
A
couple
from
each
county
goes
for-

ward
and
whoever
wins
becomes
the
Ireland
champions,
then
there’s

the
European
championship,
and
the
world
championship.

Ruby:

So
you’re
going
for
total
world
domination?

Well
not
quite
the
world
but
Gary
and
I
are
willing
to
take
on
Ire-

land.

Gary
has
agreed
to
all
this?

Absolutely!
Now
that
Gemma
and
he
have
broken
up
he’s
got
more

time
to
practice.

How
does
Teddy
feel?

He
has
no
idea
and
that’s
the
way
it’s
going
to
stay.
Anyway
we

haven’t
even
gotten
through
the
Dublin
heats
so
there’s
no
point
in

causing
mayhem
and
bloody
murdering
sprees
until
we
get
further

into
the
competition.
It’s
on
in
a
few
weeks,
will
you
be
there?

Rosie:

Ruby:

I’m
insulted
you
even
had
to
ask!

Thanks.

How’s
my
brave
little
sister?
I
hope
you’re
keeping
well.
You’re
dealing

with
everything
that
has
happened
so
brilliantly,
I’m
so
proud
of
you.
I
know

it’s
been
a
tough
time
and
with
me
being
all
the
way
over
here
I
feel
like
I

haven’t
been
there
for
you
like
I
should
have
been.
If
it’s
OK
with
you
I

would
love
to
come
over
and
visit
you.
Maybe
stay
for
a
week
or
something.

With
Mum
and
Dad
off
gallivanting
around
the
world
it
must
be
very
lonely

for
you
and
with
them
away
unfortunately
the
rest
of
us
don’t
meet
up
like

we
should.
Maybe
we
should
go
to
Kilkenny
and
visit
Kevin,
the
three
of
us

haven’t
been
in
the
same
room
together
since
I
don’t
know
how
long.
(Don’t

worry,
we
won’t
go
to
the
hotel,
we
can
stand
outside
and
throw
eggs
at
the

windows
if
you
like!)

I
know
you’re
going
over
to
Alex
so
maybe
I
could
come
over
the
week
