Chapter 33
Johnny had been right. The studio was just a bit larger than the ballroom was, at least according to the specs that he found. But that wasn’t the problem. It was on the other side of the main house of Kellerman’s where the ballroom was located.
Jonny Castle, Baby and Johnny’s son, was a computer whiz. Jonny had invented one of the most popular computer games in the country and was now negotiating with several companies for the rights. He was working on another one, which was already picked up by a prestigious computer firm. This was his hobby, as he called it.
Jonny had become involved in dance only because his father and sister were in the business. He helped out on Frannie’s shows, designing sets, costumes, and signs for the productions.
He didn’t really have a steady job. His girlfriend, Ashley, did however. She was a model turned actress and was working right now on one of the soaps filmed in the city.
Jonny always brought his Mac I-Book wherever he went and this time was no exception. Within a few hours, signs had been posted about the reunion change.
Johnny had been wrong. It hadn’t taken a few hours; it only took a forty-five minutes to clean everything up. The only changes that were needed were new curtains and Penny found extras in the supply closet. A lot of it had been cleaned up during the renovations to the hotel.
A short run-through was needed as chairs and tables were set up in the studio. The only problem, of course, was who would dance the last dance that was left vacant by Lynn and Danny. Johnny told Frannie that he and Baby would do it, but she hadn’t seen them even attempt it at all.
She was starting to wonder if he was pulling her leg.
Frannie had expected them to show up at the rehearsal studio, but the two hadn’t made it.
She understood that the invited guests, which consisted of family and close friends, would be entering that evening, about five o’clock.
After a cocktail and small get together at six, the show would begin promptly at seven thirty. It was a two-hour show and Frannie wasn’t sure how everyone would react to it.
Frannie thought that they had begun greeting their respective families and old friends, but she wasn’t sure. With Chrissy and Penny watching the last minute run through, she walked outside to search for them.
She didn’t have far to go.
