Jayne made up a
bed up for Harlow on the couch. She gave her a big glass of water and some
aspirin. Even Jayne wasn’t sure the aspirin would help her from suffering a
hangover the next day, but it was worth a shot.
She thought she
was going to choke on her beer when Harlow announced she caught Charlie having
sex on his desk with his boss. She never thought Charlie would be unfaithful to
her friend. She thought they were next super couple, like Bev and Pete. What a
wild night discovering that her other best friend wasn’t as happy as she
appeared either. Hearing both women’s confessions, gave Jayne a reason to
rethink her whole idea of marriage, children and happily ever after. If Bev and
Pete were a farce, how did Jayne ever expect to meet her prince charming? Or
anyone for that matter.
Jayne might have
the dream hours and the great vacations, but her kindergarteners took the life
out of her. By the time she got home every night she was too exhausted to go
out to the normal places women meet men. She had a boring life by all
standards. She went to work, came home, chilled on the couch and fell asleep
before nine. On rare occasions when one of the girls needed a shoulder to cry
on, Jayne went out. And even sitting in a bar all night long, not one man made
his way over to her. Not that a guy would have survived the three musketeers
and their male bashing. Still, she wondered if she’d ever find a man or would
she become an old spinster.
Exhausted, Jayne
climbed into her own bed and wished for peace and happiness for all three of
them, because right now it looked like their lives were all screwed up.
