Rusi put her hands on her hips. “I messed things up? This painting business was your idea!”

Ilana said, “You’re telling me you’d actually bring a girl like Dafna to meet your precious Bais Yaakov friends?”

ZeeZee reached out to touch the stone in front of her. “But I am normal, right? I’m normal me!”

“ZeeZee, we already discussed this. The hospital isn’t a place for a seminary girl. Rabbi Freund will never allow it”
