After unloading the car, she knocked on Dee’s door. Dee came down the stairs to let her in.

“Come see my new ride!”

Lorelei lead Dee, Bindi, and Lily to her new Sidekick. “Don’t you just love it?” She opened the door and Bindi jumped in, ready to go for a ride.

Dee laughed while Lorelei told her all about the car and how she got it.

“You’re going to need to keep this in the garage. Let me get you a remote for it so you can just drive right in.” Dee went back into the house to retrieved the garage remote while Lorelei played with Bindi and waited for Dee’s return.

“Same button for opening and closing the door,” Dee said as she pushed the button. The garage door opened and Lorelei drove her Sidekick in and parked near a newer Toyota Prius. She got out, grabbed the box that held the glass sculpture and went to the back door which opened up to the back yard and under the steps to her apartment. She stopped and looked at a large shoe collection that lined the back wall. None of the shoes had matches, just an eclectic collection of boots, tennis shoes, sandals and a few high heels.

As she met Dee in the back yard, with the box tucked under her arm, she asked, “What’s with all the shoes?”

Dee started laughing as Lily and Bindi chased a ball she had just thrown.

“I always thought it funny seeing an old shoe laying by the side of the road, and always told myself little stories of how a lone shoe would end up there. And after Harry died, well, I started picking up those old shoes and giving each one a story.”

“That is hilarious! I would love to hear those stories some time,” Lorelei laughed.

“I have them all written down in a notebook by my desk. Keeps my imagination active,” Dee said.

“One of these times you may just find a shoe with a foot inside of it.”

“Now that would be a story!”

As they started inside, Lorelei handed the box to Dee, “Can you hold this and I will get the girls dried off,” she said as she handed to box to Dee and grabbed the towel to dry Lily and Bindi off. The rain had stopped and blue sky was peeking through the clouds but the dogs were still wet from running in the grass.

“I guess I should have waited to show you my car so you didn’t have to do the stairs,” Lorelei said as she remembered Dee didn’t feel up to walking the stairs this morning.

“After the soak in the tub and Tylenol, I’m doing much better. And it’s best to walk the stiffness out anyway. If I sat around, I wouldn’t be able to move at all tomorrow.”

Lorelei took the box from Dee and carried the box containing the glass sculpture upstairs.

“Wait, I thought I left Bindi in the apartment when I left this morning,” Lorelei queried as they made their way to the living room.
