Slipping on a pair of flats Ann went to the wine cabinet. Picking out two bottles of wine, Ann looked in the mirror one more time before leaving. Knoc...ing on the door she tried to restrain her thoughts. As the door opened Ann asked, am I early. Holding the door open nervously Mary wore a tee shirt dress. No, you're just on time Mary said closing the door. Taking the wine, Mary headed to the kitchen. Ann's breath quivered as she watched Mary walking ahead of her. Mary's hair was in a pony tail. So it was my gnarly old grandfather that raised me these last twelve years. If I wanted something I worked for it. So he figured I could beat my diagnosis with sheer willpower alone. He was wrong.I didn't moan and bitch. What was the point of that? I just made a list and decided to see how many things on it I could do before I died. It wasn't a long list but it was all I had really. The first thing on the agenda was to do as much travelling as I could before I got too sick to do that. I was. In the exact place my father ate his food. Oh boy that would be awkward sitting at the table and watching my father eating there everyday. Then again my Grandfather did take my virginity on his table on the spot he ate. So I guess I’ve been through this before. But that was kind of different.Softly my lover said, “That’s not exactly true. You may have been identical at one time, but throughout the years you’ve both changed. You have the cutest little dimples when you smile. Your eyebrows curve. "We haven't even started to have fun," Shari said suggestively.The waitress looked down at her."My name is Yoko," she said. "I get off at noon today, if you guys want to hang."Shari nodded.Yoko winked at us and walked away."Did you see that?" Tanya asked me. "Shari just picked up our waitress!"I smiled at her."I can't believe it either," I said.Shari smiled at me."She's cute," she said. "It'll be fun."Tanya and I looked at each other and shook our heads.We drove into Tahoe city after breakfast.
