To take a break from a rather hectic day, I decided to phone Tree. He answered the phone within just a couple of rings, “I was just dancing around, did a twirl, and saw you were calling. My phone is on silent – no wonder I haven’t received any calls today.” “I’m so grateful you twirled,” I replied.
Temporarily residing in a different zip code, Tree is always looking for an opportunity to come back to mine, so we made plans to attend an event at a downtown salon. As sometimes happens, plans changed a bit when Tree was reminded he had dinner plans. Not one to let other people’s plans get in the way of mine, and having received an invitation from Tree to join, I met up with them for dinner.
When I walked through the door of the restaurant I realized I was dining with the triple threat: Trio, Reflection and Better Have. They had been there long enough to have a drink or two before I arrived and their game was on. It’s been some time since I’ve seen Reflection, but it was obvious he hasn’t missed a day seeing himself. He was looking fabulous, as was Better Have.
The waitress came to the table several times and each time Reflection and Better Have’s behavior and comments escalated. “Can you believe they talk to her like this?” Tree asked me. “I can’t believe she keeps coming back,” I replied. Once we got the check and our free bucket of cotton candy, we headed next door to the the salon event.
Reflection immediately took advantage of the free styling suggestions and makeovers. Better Have and I immediately took advantage of the free wine. While waiting for Reflection, Better Have informed Tree and I that he was the better have of their relationship. “Better have?” I asked. “Mmmm hmmm, ‘Better have dinner made by the time I get home.'”
