girls just want to have fun

 Cara didn't understand. What was Jody talking about? Actually, she thought that little sister of her's was already married, but since their parents divorce well, she felt out of the loop with a lot things.

"Meet me after work," she'd said about the matter. They needed to meet face to face. After all, there was a time they shared most everything, even the same room.  It felt like a faded memory now, but she knew it was time to get back with her family even if they weren't her real family. Yes, after she and Ral decided to call it quits she'd dived in hard at the marketing place she worked. She'd taken on more accounts, and overtime. She didn't really know what was going on with anyone these days.

"OH MY GAWD," Jody said it first. "You've changed," Jody said Cara had lost weight and she'd changed her hair. "I don't even know you."

"Well, Lil Jo you haven't changed a bit," she smiled. She ordered them beers. Of course, Jody always had to pull out her ID while Cara was such a regular here, no one asked her age anymore. 

"I'm thinking of leaving Andrew," Jody was serious now as she pulled a strand of hair behind her ear.

"Why?" Cara asked after she put the pizza order in.

"Oh, well..he's just dragging with the wedding, you know." Jody shrugged as if that was enough to leave him. Cara only nodded. She understood. 

"Of course, the Pandemic hasn't helped any," Cara knew it was hard to make an arrangement for even a small wedding these days.

"I don't know what he's expecting," Jody smiled as she took a sip of dark beer. "I'm not exactly royalty."

"Yeah, I know. We're just two misfits," Cara sighed. She took a drink of beer, thinking she should be throwing up already, but she would do that after she got home.

"Do you need a roommate?" Jody asked.

"What?" Cara winced. How could she explain this to Jody? She liked living alone. Because occasionally she might find someone to have sex with. She really didn't want to fall in love. "Don't give up on Andrew. I know you've been crazy about him forever. You just need to talk it out."

She drank her beer. Jody finished her's off to. They were ready for another when the pizza came.
