“Melin! It’s so good to see you. Get in here, girl.”

Melinda hugged the woman she’d been buddies with since first grade. Even a few brief visits during their two thousand mile separation hadn’t put a stop to their friendship. She stepped inside “This place is gorgeous, Cyn. Look at that classic detailing,” she said, running her hand along the carved wood trim of the door frame and wainscoting. “Is this original to the house or due to a remodel?”

“Oh, please. You know I don’t have a creative bone in my body. That’s your thing, not mine. We bought it just the way it is, but we work hard at giving this place that ‘lived-in’ look.”

Melinda laughed at the tiny blonde with big blue eyes. “God you look good, girl. I bet you haven’t gained an ounce since high school. How do you stay looking so young?”

“I run.”

“Really? Like marathons and events like that?”

“Nope. I run my daughter to dance line practice, to softball practice, and gymnastics. I run my son to track and swim meets. I run back and forth for Matt’s dry cleaning, I run to the store, I run to pay bills and keep food in the fridge. Those kids eat me out of house and home. And when they bring their friends over, it’s even worse. I swear I’ll have to take out a loan just to keep them fed soon.”

“Yeah, right—Mrs. ‘I married one of the most successful orthopedic surgeons in Washington State’.”

Cynthia put her head back and laughed. “Honey, those kids can cut through a paycheck like a hot knife through a batch of summer honey. If you had kids, you’d kno...Oh...I mean…Melin, I’m so sorry.”

Melinda smiled sadly and placed a comforting hand on Cynthia’s arm. “It’s okay. Don’t worry about it.”

“I don’t think sometimes,” Cyn said, as she slapped at her own head. “I just talk and talk without thinking a thing through, sometimes.”

“I said not to worry about it. Now show me the latest shots of your gorgeous kids. How old are they now?”

“Abigail is seventeen and just finishing up her junior year. This time next year we’ll be gearing up to send her off to college. Jacob is fifteen and he’ll be a sophomore next year.”

Melinda followed Cyn to the latest school shots of both teenagers and gasped. “Oh, my gosh. They’re both so grown up. How did that happen so quickly? It seems like a couple of years ago they were still toddlers.”

Cyn pulled a bottle of wine from the cooler and set two glasses beside it. “I know, right? They were babies when those two you were taking care of both in college.” She put a finger to her temple. “Tiffany and . . .”

“Drake,” Melinda finished for her. “Doctor Tiffany LeBlanc is also a surgeon at a hospital in Lake Coburn, Louisiana. And Mr. Drake LeBlanc, Attorney at Law, is practicing law in his father’s firm right there in Houston.” She smiled at the thought of the two children she’d raised and loved since they were both infants.
