came to our sex life. Sometimes, you just can’t figure men out.”
“And despite being burned, you’re willing to get married again?” I ask.
Lishelle smiles, an ear-to-ear grin. “Fucking right I am. I have no doubts. Glenn’s different, ya know? We go way back. Whether he’s been in my life or not he’s always been in my heart.” She sighs happily. “What can I say—the man’s my soul mate.”
“I’m going to live vicariously through you,” I announce. “You’re totally in love, having great sex—right?”
“The best.”
“It’s a good thing I love you or I’d want to slap you right about now.” I smile sweetly. “You’re just so…happy.”
“That’s what love does to you. And Annie, if you get laid anytime soon, you’ll be smiling like this, as well. It had been two years for me.”
“I know. That’s why I can’t hate you.”
“Well, I can,” Claudia interjects. But a smile is tugging at her lips. “You’re stealing my thunder, girl. It’s my wedding that’s four weeks away.”
Lishelle mimes running a zipper across her lips. “No more about Glenn. For the next four weeks, it’s all about you and all about that fabulous wedding that will be the talk of the town for years to come.”
Finally, the smile reaches Claudia’s eyes.
“And that dress.” Lishelle lets out a low whistle. “I know it’s going to be spectacular.”
“For two hundred thousand, it’s got to be.” Claudia beams. “A one-of-a-kind Vera Wang.”
“Fit for a princess,” I tell her.
“Which she is,” Lishelle adds. “A Black-American Princess.”
“Enough already, guys. Stop.”
“The point is,” Lishelle begins, “you’re going to have a fabulous wedding.”
“I will, won’t I?”
“Of course you will.” I pat Claudia’s hand. “And then you and Adam are going to have a wonderful life, with lots of babies.”
“Ten,” Lishelle interjects.
“Ten!” Claudia exclaims.
“How ever many you want,” I say. “And you’re going to be happy forever and ever. I promise.”
