Jean made the familiar trek to Laurie’s room after the buses left and found her on her cell phone. Stepping back to give her privacy, she saw Laurie motioning her to come into the room.

“I’m so excited Emma! We’ll be ready for you and when you arrive, I’ve got a gorgeous detective for you to meet!”

Hanging up, she looked at Jean and said, “It’s final. She got the job at Fairfield High School and moves in a month when this school year is over.” April had come in, bringing warmer weather and with it the promise of her beloved aunt soon joining her in town.

Hugging her friend, Jean knew how much this meant to Laurie.

Settling down in the chairs for a chat, Laurie looked at her. “Hmmm, so how are things going with Dad?”

Jean blushed and said, “Are you sure you want to know?”

The burst of laughter from Laurie was welcome to Jean’s ears. It had been a long time since she had heard her friend genuinely laugh.

“Yeah, I’m sure. You have to understand that even though I call him ‘Dad’ now, it’s not like I’ve known him as my dad when I was little. So while it may have seemed weird to think of my mom as a sexual being…Brock is really just a man to me.”

Jean nodded understanding, saying, “Well that’s good to know.”

“Sooooo?”

“We’ve been seeing each other most nights that we can. He’s going to talk to Mac today about working at the fire station and that will take up some nights. But we’re…um…progressing.”

“Progressing? You can’t give me more than that?”

“You want details?” Jean asked, blushing.

“Yeah. What do you think girlfriends are for?” Laurie added.

Just then Carol popped in the door. “Hey, I thought I’d find you two here. I was passing by and saw your yellow bug still in the parking lot.”

Jean looked at the beautiful, petite blonde and watched as Laurie patted the chair next to them saying, “Come on in. Jean was just getting ready to share the details of her nights of passion with Brock.”

Carol smiled, plopping down quickly. “Ohhh, do tell.”

Continuing to blush, Jean answered, “There’s not much to tell. We see each other when we can, and the other evening we…well, he stayed and we…”

“You had amazing, knock your socks off, rock your world sex, right?”

The three women laughed and Jean had to admit that Laurie was absolutely correct. “That’s exactly what happened.”

Sobering after a minute, Jean looked at her two friends and asked, “Do you think it’s right to move Rick’s picture? The one by the bed?”

“Oh honey, yes. It’s been fifteen years. I think it would be perfectly fine to move it,” Carol said.

Laurie nodded her agreement. “It doesn’t mean you don’t remember your first husband, your first love. But do whatever makes you comfortable.”

“Well, Brock has a woman’s tattoo on his heart, so he can’t remove his past reminders quite so easily.” She saw their fallen expressions and quickly added, “Oh I don’t mind. It was a long time ago for him too.
