Book club reunion
The next day
"Ahhhhhhhh!" Excited squeals were heard from the conference room of the library.
Stella was surrounded by her friends and they all engulfed her in warm hugs and happy smiles. Adrianne tried not to tear up seeing her good friend back in town and walking on her two feet.
"Feels like it's been forever!" Anastasia complained.
"I know", Stella drawled with tears glistening in her eyes. "How has the book club been? Did you guys make progress? How far are you into the book?"
"We couldn't get anything done without Dorothy bringing you up", Adrianne replied earning a shocked gasp from the said person.
"What do you mean by that?" Dorothy looked more embarrassed than offended.
"Don't even deny it! You grew more gray hair from stressing about her", Adrianne added shamelessly causing the older woman's face to grow ugly while the rest of the group broke into snickers.
