me one.” she winked.
    “Where did you get that from?” her eyes flickered with unmistakable interest.
    “Just to prove that there are smart blondes in this world. It’s mine, I made it up.”
    “Well… I for one like it. Hope not to use it though.” She said thoughtfully settling in the car.
    “Fingers crossed girlfriend, but with this crooked world, who knows.” Liz snickered, her hands on the ignition.
    Zoe gnashed her teeth and made an angry face, which only made Liz laugh some more… The witty comment was annoyingly true.
    “That smells really good,” Liz sniffed “It’s making me feel hungry. But since I have a dormant metabolism unlike you I’ll have to pass.” she sighed and caressed her stomach involuntarily.
    “Yep. That’s Joe’s Cuban sandwich, mom’s favorite. Joe takes advantage and makes it an aphrodisiac.”
     “The poor guy, so Joe still has the hots for your mother huh?”
    “Story of his life.”
    As Liz concentrated on driving the car, Zoe scanned through the streets beside her. Lights flashed before her eyes, with people scurrying by peacefully to their destinations. It was not a very busy night. Not like it was ever really busy. She wondered silently how dreadful Desolia used to be, all in the name of witchcraft! Not once in her life had she experienced any abnormality or wickedness of any sort. It was a beautiful tropical island with an assorted mix of cultures from all over the world. Grateful to globalization people were not stupid enough to dwell on the insubstantial abominable past events. The town flourished to a beautiful habitat for lovely people. An unconscious smile crept on her lips. Coincidently, Liz glanced her way.
    “What are you smiling about?”
    “Nothing really, just excited about getting my own car, was tryna think of a name for it.” she lied bluntly and bit her inner lip.
     Something she was good at even without trying so hard. Her face even lit up as she said it. No wonder her mother thought she would make a fine actress. What’s worse, she wasn’t sure about the purpose for the lie. But it could be the fact that Liz could talk round the clock about Desolia and not tire one bit. She would start with how the town has an incredible history like no other in the world, were as Zoe thought it had a heartbreaking history. Debating anything with Liz needed preparation and she was not prepared for a verbal fight. She already got enough history at home and she was certain she was not up to that discussion.
    “Well what did you come up with?” Liz inquired.
    “Can’t find something suitable yet. I thought of it and decided I will have to see it first, to decide.” she informed.
    “Yeah that’s better… I have to get some groceries since nobody else bothers at home, you want something?” Liz glanced at her as she drove toward a store.
    “Don’t think so, but let me call mom and see if she needs anything.”
    When she got to it, Liz parked then waited as Zoe called her mother.
    Right after a few beeps and a click Carol picked up.
    “Hey mom.”
    “Hi darling, where are you? I came home to a complete mess! Why did you leave Zack alone?” Carol complained.
    Zoe grimaced.
    “I went out with Liz, I’m sorry mum, but I thought you won’t be long, plus I urged him not to mess things up. Anyway, we’ll be there shortly. Do you need anything am at a store right now.”
    “I don’t think Zack heard you. About the groceries, if you have enough get me some bread….wait let me check the fridge.”
    She waited by her phone and heard her mother footsteps skitter about, and then she was back on.
     “Pac of eggs, spaghetti, milk, sugar and cereals and um do you know the…oh hell I’ll get the rest of it myself. Is that okay?”
    “Got it, I think I can manage.”
    “Thank you honey, drive safe and say hi to Liz.”
    “Okay mom, see you in five.”
    “Okay.” Carol finished and the line went dead.
    They ambled over to the store. After short minutes of
