“Anything you want.” Her face softened.
“You’re going to be an awesome mom,” I shared, and her eyes widened. I wasn’t the feelings kind. I didn’t do emotions and ooey gooey. “Okay, that’s settled. Job hunt starts with a hangover and a trip to the Halloween store tomorrow.”
“Halloween store?”
“I need a costume.”
“What?” She laughed, utterly amused with me.
“I need something to aspire for.”
“For Halloween?”
“For next year. This one is going to suck.”
“Ahh. Gotcha. How about a princess?” she suggested, and I snorted.
“Can you imagine me as a princess? As if. Who the hell would be my knight in shining armor?”
“You never know what life will throw at you.”
“Hmm…” I silently disagreed. I knew what life would have in store for me and my drunk ass. Cats. Lots of them. But since I was allergic, I’d probably be known as the crazy dog lady, or maybe the fish lady who drowned in her home when all her fish tanks broke because her finned pals planned a mutiny against her. “And Lee?”
“Yeah?”
“Don’t let me fall in love ever again.” I sighed, my eyes heavy with unshed tears. I felt her pull me closer and tucked my body into hers. “Never, ever again,” I muttered as I fell asleep and drifted off into a dreamless state.
