She had two sons in the navy and had lost her husband several years back. Her assistant was an older woman with a sweet disposition and tolerance for cursing.
Lisa drove in silence to the small real estate office she had decided to rent when business picked up. She picked up her purse and walked out as they sat in shock, the truth always seeming to stun people. Seems like there is no fixing this unless we give love a try and I'm not willing. "I’ll go see your mom, but I’m not sure I can deal with the Marc situation. Without a snappy comeback she exhaled and turned to face the two most important people in her life. Lisa moved to the sink, dumping her coffee out. Do what you need to do, but come back the Lisa we love and leave him the Marc I know." "Go to New York tonight or tomorrow morning and fix this thing between you guys. She’ll pretend she doesn’t know anything and treat you like family. My brother hasn't been depressed his whole life." Kari tapped her fingers on the table beside her. "He's depressed and she thinks it's your fault. "I think it's a succubus, but good try toots." Lisa picked up her coffee, taking another tentative sip and growling. "More like a spawn of the Incubus gods." Sicily laughed and wagged her eyebrows. "Mom just said he's been acting like he's had his heart broken since getting back to New York. Just for the record." Lisa moved to the table, setting down her coffee and fixing her necklace. Do you think you've gained weight?" Kari finished making her coffee and moved to the table, leaning back and crossing her legs. "I think you look great, but you have to feel good about yourself too. Super-hot like the day I met you." Lisa winked at her friend, swallowing the truth. I hate to get on the scale, but tell me the truth." "Vulgar." Sicily walked into the kitchen, stretching and yawning loudly. "Tell me more about me dicking up Marc's sex life." "I think Jesus has more to worry about than you and someone you love bringing a bundle of joy into the world." Lisa waved her hand in the air, lost on how they ended up on such a strange subject.
"My mother would be in front of Jesus to give me a look about that, Lisa." "So? People have kids all the time without getting married." "I think you'll find that you’re wrecking his too." Kari laughed and walked to the coffee pot. "Why do you think we have something to talk about? I'm not telling him that he's wrecking my sex life." "Yeah, you're probably right." She turned and shrugged, her expression locked into place.
You guys have some things to talk out and your parents would be thrilled I bet." She slipped the sugar spoon into her coffee, the drink way the fuck too sweet now. No way was she looking cheesy in front of anyone. "I'm not sure I'm going yet." Lisa turned back toward the counter, the smile on her face hurting her cheeks. He told me to tell you to let him know when you got in so he could take you to dinner." "He was overly excited about you coming into town. She tugged at her necklace, stopping beside the coffee pot as someone moved in behind her. The silky crimson shell under her jacket helped to bring out the color of her hair, as if the fiery mess needed any help. She walked into the kitchen, her cream-colored suit hugging her figure. Her parents would love it, but she wasn't going for them. Lisa tossed back and forth all night trying to decide if going to see her mother would be a good idea.
