The girls spent hours out in the woods that night. It only got better as it got dark. Then it was time to go inside.
"I'll get your bed ready while you get the provisions." Rachelia said the moment they stepped in the house.
"Okay." Megana answered having no refusal in her mind about eating the last of the ramen.
She rounded the corner into the kitchen. She felt like she was at home at Rachelia's house. She opened the fridge and snatched the two white take out boxes from the top shelf. And grabbed the two pairs of chopstix out of a drawer.
She walked back to Rachelia's room. She stopped at a family photo on the wall. It was one of those where the whole family would wear white shirts and jeans. Where all of grandparents would sit in the middle and all of the grandchildren would surround them. Rachelia had invited Megana to that reunion. She had the time of her life. She loved that photo.
She walked into Rachelia's room. There were dozens of candles of different scents that combined to form the smell of a compost pile but she was used to it.
"So," she said tossing a pair of chop stix to Rachelia, "how's Kei?"
"He's fine." She answered "Do you remember last Valentines Day? You know, when we were working that fund raiser dinner."
"And he made reservations and took you to dinner there so you got a free meal and money for camp. Yes, I remember."
"He is so sweet," she sighed, "I hope we are together forever"
