...Elena walked into the dark, cold room. “Sofia, have you ever seen the Ice Cream Parlor so dark and quiet?”
We set our suitcases down.
Turning toward my sister, I shook my head, “Never; it’s always been the center of the town.”
Reaching down and turning on the Christmas tree lights, Elena whispered, “Especially at Christmas.”
“Especially when everyone should be here celebrating Christmas Eve.” Walking over to Jana’s ice cream cone quilt, remembering aloud, “Jana’s party for her first year living in Summit was such fun.”
“Our birthdays are always celebrated here.”
“And our graduations.”
“Wedding receptions.”
“Baby showers.”
Elena’s face glowed in the Christmas lights. “Making Christmas quilts.”
“Even before our quilting room, Nonna Patti and Mom would slide the long bench tables together so we could work on our Christmas quilt while the Parlor was open.”
Elena giggled, saying, “Every year, Helen would offer her shop for us to use.”
“Every year, Nonna Patti would say no, we had our quilting room.”
“Every year, Helen would say she was a stubborn scooper.”
“And…” Elena and I said, “Every year, Nonna would say, it’s a family thing.”
Looking around at the walls as she walked around the Parlor, Elena stopped before me, “Sofia, do you notice something missing?”
I looked from my twin sister’s face to the walls, “The Christmas Quilts! They should be up by now.”
