Del was trying to track Mallory down. She wanted to see how Mallory’s physical therapy session went. Dr. Van Dyke was not happy. It appeared after fifteen minutes of physical therapy Mallory had called him a savage butcher, informing him that she was never coming back and he could go fuck himself. Del found her at Gigi’s.

Gigi and Mallory were sitting on the couch out back, fishing with their play rods in the canal. Gigi smiled at Mallory.

“We haven’t done this in a while,” Mallory said, suddenly feeling guilty for not spending time with her best friend because she was in love.

“Yes, I’ve been ditched.”

“I’m sorry,” Mallory said.

“You love her.”

“I do, more than I ever thought possible. It kind of makes me wonder about how I felt about Caroline.”

“You were young. We were all young then. I thought she was the one for you. Maybe I was wrong,” Gigi said, thinking of a past she did not relish. She was starting to reevaluate some of her past indiscretions and wishing they hadn’t occurred.

“I thought she was too. That scares me. I just don’t understand what I did to turn her away.”

“It’s hard to tell,” Gigi said, looking away.

“I don’t want that to happen with Del.”

“It won’t,” Gigi assured her.

“How do you know?” Mallory asked.

“I just know,” Gigi said.

Mallory’s cell phone rang. She handed it to Gigi, who was well versed in pretending to be her secretary.

“No, I’m sorry she’s not available.”

“Gigi, it’s Del, tell her I need to talk to her,” Del said.

“It’s Del,” Gigi said, handing her the phone. “Are you in trouble?”

“Maybe a little,” Mallory said, covering the phone.

“What did you do?”

“I told the physical therapist to fuck off,” Mallory said.

Gigi laughed.

“Mallory,” Del said.

“He was a butcher,” Mallory said.

“He is the best PT we have.”

“I don’t like him,” Mallory replied.

“He might be lacking in the people skills department but you have to work with him.”

“I don’t have to do anything. I’m not going back,” Mallory replied.

“Can we talk?” Del said.

“I’ll take you to dinner. When are you off?” Mallory asked, feeling guilty for causing Del grief.

“Six-thirty.”

“I’ll pick you up.”

“Mallory, you’re not angry with me are you?”

“Because you’re one of them?”

“Yes,” Del said.

“No, I love you,” Mallory said, turning instantly crimson.

There was a pause.

“Del?”

“You are an incredible woman,” Del said.

Del called Angel because she understood women better than most from their old days of cruising women together.

“What’s up?” Angel asked, trying to pick out an outfit.

“It’s Mallory. She had physical therapy today. She told the PT to fuck off and left abruptly.”

“The girl has spunk,” Angel laughed. “I’ve felt like that a time or two myself.”

“This guy is the best.”

“Her foot was badly broken, right?”

“Yes,” Del said, remembering removing the cast and surveying the damage, hoping Mallory wasn’t going to have a permanent limp.

“Give her some time.”

“I don’t think that is going to make a difference. She’s really angry.”

“But she’s not angry with you?” Angel asked, beginning to grasp the reason Del called.

“No, she loves me, even if I am one of them.
