The next morning, knowing holidays were sometimes difficult for people alone, Ren had made it a point to call Mallory for every special holiday since Piper died. When Mallory answered, Ren said, âI called to wish you a Happy New Year.â
âHappy New Year to you, too.â
Ren could tell from Malloryâs voice that she was smiling her beautiful smile. âDid you go out last night?â
âNo, did you?
âYes, I took Lindy with me when the guys, P ân P, and I went out for our traditional New Yearâs Eve celebration.â
âOh, nice. How did that go? Did the guys behave?â
âFor the most part. You know Joey. He can never resist an opportunity to embarrass me, although for the most part he was on his best behavior. Besides, I think heâs met his match in Lindy. She can give back as good as she gets.â Ren told Mallory about their initial exchange regarding the toaster oven comment.
Mallory laughed. âI think youâre right. Sounds like sheâs a good match for him. She certainly bested him in that exchange.â
âWe really did have a lot of fun. I canât remember having so much fun with anyone since, well you know, since Brooke. Truth isâ¦â Ren paused.
âGo on. You know you can tell me anything.â
âI know. Itâs just that the thought that ran through my head kind of surprised me and made me feel almost disloyal to Brooke.â
âSo tell me. Letâs talk about it.â
âI was going to say that truth is, I think Lindy is more fun than Brooke. Although Brooke had a good sense of humor, and could always make me laugh, you know how serious she was most of the time. Lindy is always full of the devil. She lightens me somehow. I know itâs said that another person canât make you happy. Itâs just that when Iâm with her, itâs like I want to be happy, so I am.â
âRen,â Mallory paused wanting to be careful how she worded her concern. âIt sounds like you might be falling in love with her. If Lindyâs straight, you have to be careful, sweetie.â
âI canât argue with the fact that sheâd be easy to love. I admit that Iâm really enjoying her companionship. We work well together, are companionable housemates, and sheâs been a good friend to me. But, Iâm realistic. I know itâs not a possibility that we could ever become a couple, so donât worry. I know it wonât happen.â
âWhere is she now?â
âHa! When we got home, Lindy had a bit too much to drink, so sheâs still sleeping. I donât think sheâll be her usual chipper self this morning.â
âOh, poor thing. Donât tease her. Sheâll not be in the mood for it.â
âIt will be hard to resistâ¦but I promise I wonât. How are you doing?â
âOkay. Iâm thinking of applying for another job. Actually, itâs closer to you. Administrative position, Director of Nursing, outside of New York, near Harriman.â
âThatâd be great. Maybe we could see each other more often. Why are you leaving where you are? I thought you liked your job.
