Chapter 26

“Girl, you are not going to believe what happened today at work. This lady got dumped in the delivery room,” Danita said as we sat in Karen’s living room.

Since going out every weekend did not jive with having nothing extra in the bank, we came up with the idea of holding movie nights at each other’s places and the host would pick the theme. Since it was Veteran’s Day and Karen’s father and sister were veterans, she picked Glory. I am not a big Civil War fan but the scene with Denzel with the one tear coming down his face gets me every time. Usually, our get-togethers were held on Saturdays, but we decided to do it during the week on a Thursday to truly honor the theme and the date.

“Are you serious?” Karen asked, putting the DVD on pause and looking at Danita who just shook her head.
