She was always smiling , always happy , for no apparent reason . laughing even when no one was making jokes , just loving life so much . I envied her .

A: Why would I envy someone for smiling with no apparent reason ?

These high - pitched , excitable conversations were conducted in English peppered with lilting Gujarati and punctuated by laughter and squeals of delight or gasps of disbelief . And always , always , saturated by such infectious enthusiasm , that I wished I was party to their plans and promises and not an invisible spectator . I watched bags being unpacked and I smiled inwardly as a bevy of Indian beauties paraded in front of the salon mirrors , saris held up to their shoulders as they - and I - admired the richness of the fabric , the silvery scaled glinting of sequins as lengths of material were flicked and tossed and lovingly caressed and sighed over .

I hope we 'll sit down and talk as easily as we do today . As corny as it might sound , the old saying is so very true . Make new friends , keep the old . One is silver , the other is gold .

A: What will most likely happen after this visit with their friend ?

Camille and I got dressed up , drove into the city , had a lovely dinner with Lee - Anne , picked up the poetry I am to read at Kevin and Lee - Anne 's wedding ... sat in a park for 15 minutes watching the Rideau River slide by ... getting up the energy and courage to go to the Golden Cherry awards . We accidentally drove to Gatineau and back . Found the venue ... got out of the car ... walked up the steps ... considered the prospect of listening to loud music , and sitting in church pews for four hours and turned around and went home . Oooh I ' m getting old . Or perhaps pregnancy is affecting my mental state .
