      Let’s Keep In Touch

      1

      Lorelei glanced at the clock and stifled a yawn. She was definitely not a morning person and, in her opinion, anyone who thought five hours after midnight was morning was sadistic.

      The door banged open and Andee, her business partner, backed into the diner’s kitchen lugging a large crate loaded with groceries and fresh flowers.

      Morning, sunshine, she said in her typical cheerful singsong voice. Her dark hair swung in a ponytail.

      Bite me. Lorelei continued to beat the whisk against the bowl of eggs in the crook of her arm.

      Yay! You’re in a good mood. Andee slid the crate onto the counter and began to unload the cartons of fresh eggs, gallons of milk, bags of spinach, scallions, red peppers, and fresh strawberries from the next town over.

      Lorelei finished the eggs and poured them into a pie plate, completing her third quiche for the morning, this one a ham and Gruyere combination. What did I say about talking to me before I’ve had my coffee and the clock hasn’t struck noon? She teased.

      To not to. But I haven’t listened to you since we took tap lessons at Mrs. Becky’s dance studio when we were six years old and you told me to try out for the skunk part. Who’d want to be a skunk? She shook her head while pulling down a large mixing bowl and handing it to Lorelei.

      I was a skunk, Lorelei said.

      Exactly, and you said it was terrible. Remember how Buck teased you about stinking for all of first grade? Terrible.

      Lorelei paused as she measured out the flour for her waffle mix and curled her upper lip at the woman who'd been one of her closest friend for the last quarter century.

      And you still ended up marrying him. You’re a true friend, Lorelei said with
