“Are you sure you want to go out tonight?” asked 4B later that evening as they laced up their boots and got ready to walk the half-mile down to The Strut, a bar located near the airport, a place Nora had told 4B she sometimes frequented.

“Sure,” said Nora. She was sitting on the edge of the bed, smoothing out the cuff of her jeans. She honestly didn’t want to go out, but she didn’t think it was fair to keep 4B cooped up in her small house, or subject her to the geriatric card party taking over her aunt’s kitchen that night. After their talk, Aunt Mace’s spirits had risen enough to ask her friends to come over.

“You had a rough day,” offered 4B. Nora had told her about the decision Aunt Mace had made. “We can stay home. You have a million books here. It really isn’t a problem.”

“I need to get out, I think,” said Nora, though she really would have preferred staying home. But not to read. The best distraction she could think of was in 4B’s arms, but they had already done that most of the day, between visits from friends who were happy to see Nora home in one piece.

“Okay. But let’s make it an early one. I have plans for you tonight,” said 4B, standing up and pulling Nora to her feet. When they were standing toe-to-toe, she wrapped her arms around Nora’s waist and treated her to a slow kiss.

“If that was your last ditch effort to convince me to stay home, it worked,” said Nora, a little out of breath when they parted.

“Too late. I have my shoes on.”
