Oh yeah, to impress Carol, our friendship had always been like that, when we went out I checked myself in the mirror to see what some potential man might see, but if Carol would approve. I offered coffee and she pulled a face so I uncorked a bottle of fine wine. Beeg.com “I need to get ready for all the I told you so’s from my mother.”
“Ah,” I said lamely, thinking of her mother and her disapproving snarky remarks at my expense, I did not need some softy southerner reminding me I was a miner’s brat, I had a husband who did that. I shivered at the image, except Carol was not peeling the towel off Susan, it was off me.
