“The postman put your mail in my box again,” Krystal said, handing Trudie an envelope as she opened the door.

Trudie looked at the return address and shook her head. “It’s a bill, you can keep it.”

“That’s all right, I’ve got enough of those already.”

“Stay for a drink?” Trudie asked.

“Sure, but just a glass of wine, I’m watching my figure.”

“I saw your picture on the cover of the society page again, Krystal. You looked like you were having a lot of fun,” Trudie said, walking into the kitchen.

“You know how it is,” Krystal elaborated. “As soon as the cameras are gone, it suddenly becomes a very boring party.”

“I do miss those parties where everyone has a carefree joie de vivre towards life,” Trudie said, smiling at the memories the thought had conjured up.

“Oh, I have a carefree enjoyment of living, I just enjoy it more when a camera is pointed at me,” Krystal joked. “It’s more fun than the old fuddy-duddy’s I have to play nice to.”

“I imagine it’s been pretty hard on you, since your husband died.” Trudie stated.

“Yes, it has been. I’m barely thirty-one, and the board of directors are in their sixties and seventies. We don’t agree on anything.”

“It must be hard to get things accomplished?”

Krystal nodded. “In the five years since I’ve been in charge, I’ve only managed to bring in a couple of younger board members more open to my ideas.”

“Sometimes, progress is measured in inches instead of feet,” Trudie sympathized.

“In this case, it’s more like millimeters instead of inches,” Krystal complained. “Oh, well. Give me a hug and then it’s off to bed for this old girl.”

Krystal was very demonstrative, and Trudie found comfort in that because she used to be the same way.

Trudie laughed and hugged her, then walked her to the door. “Sweet dreams.”
