“I’ll get this one,” Cat said as she grabbed the bill in Jen’s hand. They played tug-of-war with the piece of paper for a moment or two.

“Only if you let me buy next time.”

“Deal.”

“We’ll meet you outside,” Jen said as she gathered their children and their purchases while Cat paid the bill. Cat’s phone rang just as she rejoined Jen in the mall. “Fred?” Cat answered.

“Nope. It’s Billie.”

“Why are you calling me on Fred’s phone?”

“Because mine’s missing in action, remember?”

“Duh, of course. Is everything okay? The kids—”

“The kids are fine. Fred, however, is another story. I need you to stop at an herbal medicine store and pick up some more aloe salve, lots of it.”

“Aloe salve?” Cat asked. Then suddenly remembering that they used the salve for burns, she said, “God, Billie, he didn’t!”

Cat glanced at Jen, who was standing at her elbow, a questioning look on her face.

“He did. Red as a lobster,” Billie replied.

“And what about you and the kids?”

“No problem. We all had our shirts and hats on. Fred’s the only cooked goose here.”

“Okay. Aloe salve, lots of it. I think there’s an herbal store right here in the mall. We’ll be on our way soon. We should be there in half an hour.”

“Okay. See you in a bit. Love you.”

“Love you too. Bye.” Cat closed her cell phone and slipped it into her purse.

Jen looked at Cat. “Well?”

“Did you bring sunscreen?” Cat asked Jen.

Jen looked at her blankly for a moment, then realization hit. “Oh God, tell me he didn’t. Damn! Sometimes I swear that man has shit for brains,” she exclaimed.

“Aloe salve... herbal store,” Cat directed as the two women gathered up the girls. Ten minutes later, they were headed toward the car and on their way back to a badly sunburned Fred.
