“You see this monstrosity I couldn’t go into work like this I mean my feet are so bad one could exfoliate the other!”

“Well, it about time!”

“Yeah, misses everyone be sure to be on time!”

“I was on time thank you very much, “she responds sarcastically removing her foot flops then sitting down in a chair between Helena and Kit. She had invited them to join her for her emergency pedicure, Jenny who she didn’t invite nor cared for was also there.

“Uh, Kit, “she says leaning over trying her best to whisper, “Who invited Jenny?”

“Okay, look when you called she was in the office with me and Helena I felt bad so I invited her to come but in my defense I didn’t think she would say yes! I mean we’ve been here for a little while and she’s been on her best behavior so were cool.”

“Really? I find that hard to believe Jenny and best behavior don’t belong in the same sentence.”

“Look, she’s cool trust me.”

“Okay, if you say so.”

“So, Alice why were you late, “Helena ask.

“Oh, I was snap chatting with Tasha.”

“How is she is?”

“Fine, you know she’s still in Virginia doing her military thing.”

“When is she coming home?”

“Not for another couple of weeks.”

“Hello Alice.”

“Hey Jenny, “she responds dryly.

“While sitting here enjoying this lovely pedicure I’m receiving I was wondering are you an Oviparous?”

“Sigh………here we go, “Helena says mumbling under her breath.

“Excuse me a what!?”

“An Oviparous?”

“Jenny I don’t even know what that is but the answer is no, “she says rolling her eyes.

“Well, with those eagle claws you call feet you had to have been hatched from some sort of egg I mean scientifically there is no other——.”

“Jenny!”

“What Kit? What did I say?”

“On her best behavior huh, “Alice says sarcastically staring at Kit who could only shrug her shoulders in response.

“Well anyway, I have some good news Helena and I finally finished the new menu, “Kit says hoping to change the subject.

“Really?”

“Yup, and it’s to die for.”

“Helena okay so what would you recommend?”

“The kale salad! We added it to the menu to appeal to our vegan customers it tastes fabulous!”
