"You're new at this, huh?"
Kerry stared at the bar with a smile. It was a quiet night and both women could actually hear the other. "You could say that."
The short brunette rested her arms on the bar next to Kerry. "You okay?"
Kerry stared in the mirror above the rows of bottles. "It's my birthday."
The brunette raised her glass, "Happy Birthday. Big number?"
"Yes."
"21, right?"
Kerry looked over at the woman with a frown, but it turned into a smile when she saw the twinkle in the other woman's eyes. "Ah... joke."
"Okay." The woman drew out the word, "So, it's not age. You look healthy, that leaves horrible tragedy, or a woman."
Kerry sighed, "Men... I never in my wildest thought I'd say this, but men are easier now, I understand men, how to deal with 'em, talk to them, yell at them. I've never understood women, even when they were only supposed to be my friends. Men are straight forward, you want sex, you tell 'em, you want to be friends, you tell 'em. They either like it, or don't like it, but that's the end of it..."
The brunette chuckled, "Join the club. I'm Sandy... Sandy Lopez."
"Kerry Weaver."
"Ah, the ER Doctor."
Kerry groaned, "My reputation precedes me? And yet you're still here?"
Sandy's ever present smile didn't dim, "I like a challenge. So, who is this crazy woman who cannot appreciate your beauty?"
Kerry blushed bright red. "You must be drunk."
Sandy touched Kerry's nose, then her own. "Nope, not even tipsy yet. Seriously, she want to move in already? Have kids?" Sandy shuddered, "Handcuffs that just grow and grow, and poop, and..." She trailed off.
Kerry was silent for a moment as she took a sip of her wine, "A Birthday party..."
"The horror."
Kerry rolled her eyes, "Let me start from the beginning."
