A knock at the kitchen door interrupted her thoughts, ”Jo? Are you here? It’s me.”
”In here.”
Trish Mitchell, one of Jody’s closest friends came in and plopped into an arm chair. ”Thought I’d stop in and say hi. I was out to leave a check with Marsha.” Trish was paying off the illness and death of her dog, Bailey. She took his death very hard and Sharon and Jody were helping her through the depression. If the loss weren’t tough enough, she had a vet bill the size of a mortgage payment. Without Sharon’s generosity, it would have been two mortgage payments.
”Come talk to me while I get dinner together,” Jody nodded to the kitchen, knowing Trish would follow.
”Marsha said Sharon will be done in about a half hour.” Marsha kept the office organized like a drill sergeant, so Jody could bank on that 30 minutes of prep time and time to talk to Trish.
”How are classes going? Are you doing ok?” Trish had missed some classes in the first few days after they had to put Bailey down.
”It’s an effort, Jo. It takes a lot to keep going and not give in to the grief. Finals are in five weeks. I guess it helps distract me.”
”Going home for Thanksgiving?”
”Yeah. Sue’s coming with me.” A distinct brightness entered her eyes. Jody had met Sue a few times and knew she was a friend Trish was counting on in the past few weeks.
”So what’s happening in that department?”
”She’s been coming to The Women’s Center events. We’ve just been hanging out at school,” Trish smiled shyly, ”but we’re seeing each other out of school, too. She’s been really sweet about Bailey.”
”Excellent, Trish, that all sounds great.” Trish had a bad break up about a year earlier. She was the settling down type, and Jody knew she had been looking to get involved again. ”You know, I was your age when I met Sharon. I was a senior and she was in vet school.”
”You’re sweet, Jody, but I’m taking it slowly.”
