before.
    The family trips to Montana didn’t count. Upon further inspection, she quickly realized that she hadn’t taken a personal vacation in almost five years. She was long overdue. Once she determined that she was taking a trip, she had to figure out where. Enter Suzanna. Her good friend was the one that suggested the Cancun trip. Her phone rang as she thought about seeing her good friend.
    Looking at her screen, she groaned and rolled her eyes.
    “Get a clue. Take a hint! I don’t want to talk to you!” her voice carried as she pressed the decline button with extra emphasis then threw it in her bag.
    A lady walking toward her gave her a wide berth as she walked passed her.
    “Sorry, Ma’am.”
    Her phone rang and she fished it out of her purse once again. Looking at her screen for the second time in five minutes, she saw that it wasn’t him. The person that was calling would be a welcome reprieve from the constant annoyance.
    “Hello girly,” she practically sang into the phone.
    “L! I can’t believe we have two days before we are going to be in Cancun.”
    Lynnia was getting ready to do a celebratory dance right where she stood on the street, but had to halt her actions.
    “What do you mean we’ll be there in two days? Are you going early? Don’t get my hopes up, girly!”
    “You heard me right. I’m packed and ready to go. This grown and sexy chick is ready to escape the cool air of the fall months in Connecticut. I worked it out so I can do the three weeks with you.”
    Lynnia squealed at the same time her friend did. This was even better. She didn’t have to spend part of her time trying to find things to pass the time. Her previous goal had been to not look like Ms. Lonely Heart when she went out and about while there that first week. Now, she didn’t have to worry about that.
    “I hope you don’t mind. I just figured three weeks hanging out with Girly was better than two especially since it’s the only time that we get to hang out as adults. Jim is going to be bald or completely gray by the time I get back since he’s going to be dealing with Jay and the twins all by his lonesome. I can’t bring myself to care right now.”
    Lynnia could hear the devilish smile that had to be forming on her friend’s face as she spoke. She didn’t mind the company. There was something to be said about getting to know an area without another’s influence, but she would chalk this up to a moment of “the more the merrier” and leave it at that. Plus, Sue had three kids under the age of six and two very curious girls that tended to run the part-time working mother a little crazy on a good day.
    “I really don’t mind. I am absolutely looking forward to having the extra time with my friend. No work …”
    “No responsibilities …”
    “Just drinks, fine men …”
    “For you, if possible and two girlies having the time of their adult lives. Yes! Can you tell I’m just a little bit elated about this?”
    Lynnia laughed as she made her way to the door of the consignment shop so that she could mark off another thing that she had on her list of “things to do”.
    “Not any more excited than I am. I wish I could fast forward through the rest of my day and get set to get on the road to fly out of Miami tomorrow.”
    “Oh yeah. That’s right. Today is your last day in Florida. Do the Norton girls know you’re going out of town yet?”
    “Nope. They’ll learn about my plans tonight when we’re all at dinner at Momma’s.”
    Sue’s loud laugh came clear through the phone making a nearby baby in a stroller jump. Lynnia smiled at the dirty look she was given by the mother for almost waking a sleeping baby. Yeah, she knew that look well. She’d seen it on a couple of her sister’s faces when she’d dropped in unannounced and made rather loud noises. The resulting loud response came and she was usually ushered out of the room. In a couple situations with Zoie, she’d been shooed out the front
