It was funny how life worked, she thought with a happy sigh as she stirred her tea.
Michelle was pontificating on something – it sounded like she was explaining her male castration theory to their newest member of the Early Spinster's Club, Keila – but Carla couldn't keep her mind focused on what her friend was saying.
She took a sip of her tea instead, pondering her own personal housing crisis. Ever since the night of I'll-show-you-mine-if-you-show-me-yours six weeks ago, Carla and Christian had spent every free waking hour together. No more stupidity and misplaced pride keeping them apart.
Thank heavens.
