Girl Talk
On a gorgeous Saturday morning, Sam opened her eyes to the sun streaming through the window. She quickly remembered she was at Janet's. She'd been staying there for a few days after leaving the infirmary. Both Janet and Cassie had been looking after her till she was strong enough to go home on her own.
She'd just had a great dream about Jack … oh, so not a dream… she remembered with glee. They really did kiss for the first time last night. And Cassie had chosen that very moment to walk in on them.
She could smell coffee and bacon. Janet must be home and making breakfast. She got up a lot more quickly with that motivation and made her way to the source of those wonderful aromas.
In the kitchen, Janet was frying bacon while Cassie sipped her juice.
"So what do you think, Mom?"
"'Bout what?"
"You know, the kiss."
"Are you sure?"
"Absolutely, saw it for myself, a real honest to goodness kiss."
"Wow, sorry I missed it. So did you talk to them about it?"
"Oh yeah! They both tried to bribe me not to tell you."
Sam entered the kitchen right on cue.
"Tell her what?"
"Oops… Morning, Sam."
"Morning, Cass, Janet. So did Cass tell you about the kiss, Janet?"
Mother and daughter looked at each other a little sheepishly, but Janet recovered quickly.
"Not nearly enough, Sam. Not nearly enough."
"'kay, what would you like to know?" Sam said, smiling her most innocent smile.Sam proceeded to tellher best friend just enough to keep her guessing. The rest was Sam's special secret and would keep her dreaming until Jack returned.
