Honeymoon Mountain Bride

Vivian smiled and nodded.

Twenty minutes later, the three of them sat around the fire pit as the sun set over the lake. Vivian doused her burned hot dog with mustard and took a bite of it. “Most delicious thing I’ve eaten in a long time,” she said and took another bite.

“Shows how hungry you are,” Jilly said. “The more hungry you are, the better anything tastes.”

Vivian nodded. “You’re probably right. I’ve eaten some pretty stale sandwiches that tasted good because I skipped lunch.” She took a long draw of wine from her red plastic cup. “You know, I was thinking about the last time the three of us were together, and I had a hard time coming up with it.”

“Too long,” Vivian said. “I know Temple has been buried under accounting spreadsheets, and I’ve been planning events and failing at romance. What have you been doing, Jilly girl?”

“I’ve been here and there,” Jilly said with a shrug. “I went to school to be a massage therapist but skipped the exam. I took a lot of yoga classes, but I had to move before I could finish the teaching preparation. I’ve tended bar, painted and almost got a cosmetician’s license.”

Jilly shrugged again. “Just didn’t ever work out. Anybody want another hot dog? Or are you ready for marshmallows?”
