Stella picked up a grape and popped it in her mouth.

Piper poked her on the arm. “You are awfully quiet.”

“Just thinking about what Charlotte said.”

“Which time?” Charlotte asked.

“That a woman doesn’t change at our age.”

“Drink some more wine. Get drunk and tell us who your boyfriend is and then we’ll tell you how much change is needed. You plannin’ on putting in a beer joint next door to the Yellow Rose or maybe a house of ill repute? I suppose that would require that you change a whole lot.” Piper giggled.

“Maybe I’m going to marry a preacher and lead the choir at church,” Stella said.

“Yeah, when pigs fly. You’d never, ever in a million years be a preacher’s wife, especially in Cadillac.” Charlotte giggled.

“I might be,” Stella said.

Piper leaned back and studied her. “Don’t tease us, girl. I don’t see you married to Darla Jean. You never have shown signs of that persuasion and neither has she. And Jed ain’t your type.”

“Maybe he’s not from Cadillac?” Stella said.

“Naw.” Charlotte shook her head. “After that shit with the preacher’s son, you said you’d never, ever get tangled up with any form of religious man again. That bad experience done broke you from suckin’ eggs, girlfriend, so we ain’t buyin’ that brand of bullshit, as Agnes says.”

“Okay, enough talk of preachers and their worthless sons. Charlotte, what you have is bride’s jitters and not fear,” Piper said.

Charlotte raised her glass. “Amen, sister.”

Crystal glasses touched and Piper said, “To friendship. It has survived puberty, marriage, childbearing, PMS, and pure old bitchiness. There’s nothing that can knock it down. Not scumbag husbands or bride jitters or a few secrets that we didn’t or won’t tell.”

Stella smiled. “Yes, ma’am. You covered it all. And now it’s on to a massage, a mani-pedi, and a shampoo and styling. Then we’re dressing for dinner and drinking the night away in the hotel bar.”
