Coffee Shop Blues

There goes Eileen again. Don’t look. Don’t look up. Don’t you dare look up. Off to tennis doubles with your new best friend, Eileen? Don’t care. Couldn’t care less. Break a leg, Eileen.

    1. No, no, it's just one of those set phrases you say, good luck and all that. lol
      Why am I not surprised that you like to peek inside brains???

  6. Loved the "doubles" theme. Friendships/relationships can swing back and forth all the time, can't they? You captured the sense of betrayal very well, Kymm!

  7. The dialogue with herself is so wonderfully written! I especially love the repeat" Don't look up. Don't you dare look up." Well done, Kymm :)))

  29. Still laughing as I scroll down for a comment, apparently I'm not the only one. No matter how old we are, we are 14 forever. They are probably both lousy tennis players and need each other. lol
