To everyone’s pleasant surprise, Julie-the-bride turned out to be gorgeous, with heaps of blond hair and taupe-colored eyes and a body that could wear an elegant sheath and look deliciously seductive even while sitting down.

To everyone’s additional surprise, Julie’s spouse-to be was a tall, plain woman named Helen.

Sarah decided it was worth every second of Lily’s prior nonsense to see the shock on her face when she finally “got it.” As far as Sarah knew, Lily was not biased against any race, religion, or sexual preference. As far as Sarah knew, however, Lily had not expected Julie to marry a girl.

“Isn’t it wonderful that we live in Massachusetts?” Julie said with a lighthearted smile. “We both had first weddings—to men, wouldn’t you know—but mine was in Virginia and Helen’s in Nevada, and look where they got us! Here!”

Sarah would have loved to ask where Helen was from in Nevada and if it was close to the California border, close, maybe, to the Sierra Nevadas, close to where she’d been raised. But it was more fun right now to study dear Lily, whose facial expression hadn’t yet changed since the couple arrived.

“We’ve been together eight years,” Helen said. “Now I’ll finally get to be included in the management of Julie’s care.” She was perhaps in her early fifties—Julie, not much younger—and when she looked at her partner, her eyes radiated love.

“Let’s all get comfortable,” Jo said, gesturing to the cluster of seats in the showroom. Julie guided her motorized chair to where the others were beginning to sit—the others except Lily, who remained standing by the door.

“Lily?” Sarah asked. “Aren’t you going to join us?”

Lily put a hand up to her throat. “Absolutely! In a moment!” Then she spun around and offered a giddy, childlike grin. “But first, if you’ll excuse me, I believe I left something upstairs!”
