"You were starting to look anorexic."Long nap? Hair? Gained Weight? Faye was glad Kim was awake, so waseveryone else. Little things started to replay ...n her mind. Parts ofthis didn't add up. It should have been heartwarming. Should havebeen. The warm, close hug she shared with Heather made her realize shewas right, that fling with Bobbie had done her some good.Faye had seen Kim before, but didn't know her well. The shaved headand the baggy clothes was really all she knew of the recovering. We're hardly even dating seriously, really. It's just a casual thing. He's like a friend with benefits, or whatever. That's all. I made a mistake. I'm sorry."Karen shifted back to friend mode. "It's just that I worry about you. I know the divorce was hard, and I don’t want to see you get hurt." Ha! Are you kidding? My divorce was the best thing that ever happened to me. Not all of us are made for marriage. We can't all have what you and Craig have, you know."Karen paused, parsing those last. A little further on we came to an opening wide enough to get the boat thru and into the field. Keeping the motor at an idle I was creeping towards the bank. The moss hadn’t completely taken over the field yet but there was a lot of it and it was causing problems with the motor. Finally we had to stop to clear the moss from the motor. The sky was very clear and the stars were all out. We had a lot of light to see from the stars and with the mirror reflection of the bayou. It only took a moment. This all agreed in some posh pub with people finding our conversation rather offensive . So when evening came she drove over to mine and brought a bottle of wine with her. We worked into things slowly almost like a proper date really and she asked me to show her my room so I walked her upstairs and we sat there for good half an hour supping wine and the drink doing its job , she said I feel drunk and started kissing me , I said I actually like you which she said no that's not our deal . Anyway.
