********************************************************
The early morning sky proudly displayed all the splendor of the rising sun. Amber inched its way into the quickly receding violet and orange. Meanwhile, the color of Alice’s mood was decidedly dark. She jogged alongside a peacful, nearly smiling Tina. "How in the world did you ever talk me into this?", Alice panted, trying to keep pace.
"Come on, Al. It’s good for you", Tina said.
"Whatever", Alice shrugged. "Personally I think the jury’s still out on this whole health craze thing. The human heart is only meant to beat a certain amount of times in our entire life. It’s like miles on a car. You’re making me use up all my miles."
"Wow", Tina smirked. "I’m impressed Alice. That was quite a line of bullshit."
"Thanks", she panted. "I’ve been working on it since the second mile. For crying out loud woman, I need a rest."
Maybe it was the tone of pleading in Alice’s voice. Maybe it was the sheer joy that Tina was feeling. Or maybe it was the tiny hint of a catch in her side. Whatever the reason Tina relented and pointed to a park bench fifty or so yards away. "Ok, Alice."
"I love you", Alice said appreciatively and used her last bit of energy to sprint to the awaiting haven. She plunked down and quickly assumed the prone position. Tina joined her, lifting Alice’s feet to make room for herself to sit and then not-so gently plopped them on her lap. "Umph", Alice groaned. "A little respect for the dying please."
Sorry Al," Tina smirked, not really meaning it. As she listened to the heavy breathing of her friend, Tina peacefully gazed out over the water.
"Jesus. Are you smiling? I think I can actually hear you smiling", Alice exclaimed.
"Get used to it, Alice. Things are good."
Always ready for juicy details, Alice promptly sat up and slid close to Tina. "Yeah?", she inquired.
Tina turned to face Alice with a glint in her eyes to match the expression on her face. She nodded, beaming.
"Yeah", Alice sighed happily with her friend. "Things are good."
The warm air washed over them, bringing with it the smells of the day. Cinnamon rolls from a nearby bakery competed with the aroma of fresh coffee brewing.

Wow what a finale, glad to see another baby on the way. Thanks for a great ending and hope too see more.
Great ending….but it left me wanting more…how selfish!!!! lol
Loved it!!!! Really thorough ending especially Mr Buckley’s demise. Thx so much for a greatly intriguing story. And my soppy heart loves the ending. Maybe
maybe, one day u’ll let us in on how Cora progressed and do a little update on B, T, A, The poopy dog [u know they can be trained to do it in the one place], new baby and Alice. maybe…see my big pleading puppy dog eyes!!!!
Thanks for this great story. I’ve loved every minute of it.
well, well, well, look who finally posted her story! it was definitely worth the wait so i won’t bust your chops too much. can’t wait to read the new one. i was a bit surprised that mr. buckley’s demise. i kinda figured it would feature a shovel, a hammer, and a ticket to tahiti. anyway, thanks for giving us this story. i know the next one will be even better!!
I have missed you and this story. I loved the ending with Cora getting some of her childhood back and Richard doing whatever was needed to make sure she was safe from the “evil dad”. I loved the banter between Alice and the locals at the beach. Heck, in our area we still stop for funerals. I do hope that you will revisit this story at some time down the road. You left us hanging with a pregnant Tina and mommy Bette.
What a long awaited welcome surprise, hope you are back to writing a bit before dissappearing again.
Bittersweet. Yhat’s what it is. We are blessed with another post, but the post is the finale. Thanks for coming back to finish. Thank you for your story. I hope you will share another s with us.
Gotta echo Spumoni – very bittersweet it is. Thank you for this amazing finale….hope to see another one from you, whether it be a continuation of this one or something else – when you can, of course…till then ;)
