“It was and still is to this day I still struggle with the whole why me after all I gave and sacrificed for the sport to end my career due to a physical restriction was a hard pill for me to swallow. I went through a really bad bout of depression like this sculpture I felt so dark and empty inside.” She pauses to look at her before continuing to speak.

“I felt so dark and empty inside I know it’s probably hard for you to understand but——.”

“No, no I know exactly how you felt, “she says cutting her off in a somber tone remembering she felt the same way the day she broke her heart.

“Life is funny you know when things are going great and your riding high you never stop to think within a blink of an eye it could all be taken away from you. It’s painful saying goodbye to something you don’t want to let go of, “she says in a somber tone looking at her

“Yeah, “she says nodding her head in an agreement breaking the stare.

“Well okay, “she says slightly laughing, “Enough of about my psychotic tennis breakdown.”

“No, I enjoy listening……. I miss listening.”

“And I miss talking to you.”

“Excuse me ladies would you care for another drink?”

“I would, “Dana says taking a full glass off the waiters’ tray then replacing it with her empty one.

“Me too.”

“This champagne is really good, “Dana says after taking a sip.

“Yes, it is Helena has excellent taste.”

“Uhm, can I ask you something?”

“Yeah sure.”

“It’s probably not the right timing considering before today it’s been ten years since we spoke but I was wondering I’ll still be town for another couple of days two more weeks at the most would you be interested in going to dinner sometime?”

“Dinner?”

“Well, yeah I mean to catch up and talk about stuff——-or no.”

“I would love to that will be great.”

“Hey you two what’s shaking?”

“Nothing much Kit just admiring this sculpture of darkness.”

“Oh yeah, I’m not going to say anyones name but it reminds me a certain somebody “Jenny”.” Her comment caused all three of them to burst out laughing.

“Hello ladies glad everyone is enjoying the festivities.”
