“If we could get back to the subject at hand?” Capri urged through the laughter still claiming her. She’d managed to get her three older sisters on the line for a conference call. It had taken a bit of persistence since Cassandra lived in Phoenix, Cannon out in Oregon, and Carla in Atlanta, but thankfully the sisters never passed on the chance for a venting session.

“Cap, you’re gonna have to forgive us for acting so silly. I guess we’re just trying to soften you up.”

Capri shook her head. “Thanks, Carla, but I’m afraid you’ve got your work cut out for you there.”

“Honey, I think Carla means that you’re not gonna like what we’re about to tell you,” Cassandra explained.

“What?” Capri’s ease was starting to dwindle.

Cannon sighed over the line. “Sweetie, I’m actually the only one who saved herself for marriage.”

Silence filled all four lines for a while until Cassandra spoke up.

“Carla and I…indulged,” she shared, and uttered a quiet laugh. “Carla at least comes in second with marrying the man she gave her virginity to, while I…”

“Why didn’t you guys tell me?”

“Mama,” they all spoke at once.

“As far as she was concerned, Cannon’s shining example was the only example and she dared us to tell you any different,” Carla said.

“With you being so much younger than us, talks about our sex lives weren’t typical conversation,” Cannon said. “There was never a real reason or opportunity for you to be told any different.”

“Capri? Is this about you trying to live up to something you don’t even believe in or want?” Cassandra asked.

“Hmm, well I didn’t realize that I didn’t believe in it or want it until recently.”

Carla chuckled. “Sounds like someone’s being tempted.”

Capri closed her eyes. “Guilty. And I’ve been criticizing myself all over the place, calling myself a fool for falling for some tall, caramel-toned doctor with curly hair and deep eyes.” Capri grimaced when she heard the sighs of appreciation follow her description. “There’s more to him y’all, lots more.”

“Mmm,” Carla’s laughter was just below the surface, “and you want lots more from him, too, don’t you?”

Silence.

“Oh, Cap, there’s nothin’ wrong with that,” Cassandra cried. “You are free to change your mind, you know?”

“That’s right, Capri,” Cannon chimed in. “Just because this decision was right for me doesn’t mean it’s right for you. There are no rules here, no proper ways of doing things, and there’s absolutely no one waiting to brand you with a scarlet letter because of it.”

“So what’s stopping you, girl?”

Capri laughed over Carla’s question. “Me, of course.” She sighed.
