wanted a
hurricane. Vivian ordered one for herself and Wendy as well.
    Vivian paid with their special account card
and passed out drinks to Kate and Lucy. They put the beads around
their necks.
    “I’ll go get Wendy,” Kate said.
    “Oh, hold on!” Vivian said, digging into her
purse. “I brought something special to corral us or alert us when
there’s a woman down.” She pulled out a plastic, two-inch penis
whistle, complete with little balls. “Totally bachelorette-party
appropriate.” She handed it to Kate. “Give it a blow!”
    Kate looked at it, shrugged, then put her
lips on the head. A piercing toot rang out and she started to
laugh, embarrassed.
    “Give it to me!” Vivian snatched it away.
“You gotta really give it a blow!”* (see appendix)
    Shrieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!
    Wendy came around the corner carrying boas in
purple, hot pink and blue. “Holy guacamole, what the hell is that
awful noise?” she asked, tossing each of them a boa. “If I have to
wear this sash, y’all’ve gotta wear these.”
    Vivian smiled, threw the hot pink one around
her neck and gave Wendy some beads. “See, the penis whistle
works!”
    Wendy laughed. “I guess it did. Keep that
handy.”
    Vivian blew the whistle as she walked to a
small, public seating area surrounding a fountain. She plopped down
on a bench and put the whistle back in her purse. “Best three bucks
I ever spent!” She swirled her hurricane with the straw and turned
to Lucy. “Now that you and Steve are back together, how are things
going?”
    Lucy slumped on the bench, then took a long
sip of her hurricane. “Not the greatest. I’ve tried so hard to get
that flame blazing, and frankly, my lighter’s about out of
fluid.”
    Kate sat down, scooting close to her. “What’s
going on? Is counseling not helping?”
    “Counseling has helped, but it hasn’t fixed
our problem. It’s like we’re roommates, not like the married couple
I want to be. You know, the kind that has passion. And sex.”
    Wendy tossed a coin into the fountain and
closed her eyes, then said, “What are you going to do?”
    “I don’t know yet. Boulder is freakin’
expensive! I need to make sure I can support myself before I
seriously consider…” She didn’t finish.
    Wendy fiddled with her engagement ring.
“Better stock up on your Jimmy Choos now. ’Cuz god knows you’ve got
expensive taste.”
    Lucy got a little defensive. “I can reel in
my spending if I need to.”
    Wendy tossed another coin into the fountain
and closed her eyes again. “It’s tough being single and on a
budget.”
    “I think you only get one wish a day, Wendy,”
Vivian said.
    “Today, I need two.”
    Lucy stared at her expensive shoes. “I’ve not
made any decisions yet. I do love him, and his fiscal attributes
are attractive. We’ll see.” Then she turned the tables. “What about
you, Viv? Met anyone we need to look out for on this trip?”
    “ Ha ha.”
Vivian flipped her hair. “I’m not dating anyone. I am, however, having sex with
someone. Maybe more than one someone on occasion — not at the same
time in case you’re wondering. I’m just playin’ the
field.”
    “You hooker!” Kate exclaimed. “What kind of
field, soccer? That game has lots of players on the field.”
    “I do like soccer,” Vivian joked. “But not to
worry, I have not become an official hooker. There’re no monetary
transactions involved. We’re just consenting adults meeting one
another’s needs.”
    Lucy shook her head.
    Vivian shrugged her off. “You’re too
monogamous.”
    “Hello, I’m married.”
    “And when I was married, I was faithful, too.
Now I’ve opened myself up to new possibilities.”
    “What the hell kinda possibilities are you
opening yourself up to?” Wendy asked.
    “Viv, do we need to get you some shots?” Kate
asked.
    “ Juggling
two is about all I can handle, but don’t you worry. I’m a
responsible sexoholic. I’m disease free and I plan to stay that
way. Me and Mr.
