WINDMILLS
Diane's fingers linger on her glass
as she leans back in the high chair. "Sounds like you know what I'm talking
about."
"Uh-huh," Sarah deadpans, the rim
of her glass still sitting against her lips.
"Things not going well with your
husband?" Diane pauses, but the information she's seeking isn't coming
back to her. "What's his name?"
"Brent. And no, things aren't so
hot."
"Some other chick?"
Sarah is taken aback by the question,
and it shows.
"Is there someone else?" Diane repeats.
"C'mon, I know that look."
Sarah hesitates. As much as she's
worried about it and complained about it for who knows how long, admitting
it to someone else is still painful. "You got me. We have interference,
all right ... and its name is Molly."
Diane's eyes nearly jump out of their
sockets. "Your sister?!"
"Yeah," Sarah confirms, disgust dripping
from her lips.
"Man, that is brutal." Diane shakes
her head and finishes off her drink. "So she just went after him? Some
sister."
"You're telling me."
"She's trouble, I knew it all along.
The way she jerked Brian around ..." Diane falls silent for a moment at
the thought of him.
"I get where you're coming from,"
she continues, moving to a slightly different track. "My sister's a real
piece of work, too. Always had to be the center of everything. She was
a gymnast, and she had my parents totally wrapped around her finger. Our
whole lives revolved around her stupid gymnastics."
Sarah casts a sideways glance at
Diane, surprised at how intensely her bitterness shows through. She wonders
if she sounds the same way.
"Sisters, huh?" Diane finally says,
not looking up from the bar.
"Yeah, really." Sarah sighs heavily.
"What a joke."
And they sit there in silence, side-by-side,
each still digesting what has happened tonight. Of all places to find
someone who understands me, Sarah thinks, throwing another quick look
over at the dark-haired woman beside her. But at least someone does.
