Chapter 1623 Lost In A Wrong Turn:>35
- "Thanks. Anyway, I'm gonna go ahead and take off. I'll see you in a bit." Alice walked out the door and headed down to O'Malley's where the party was waiting. Jenny and Mike, their two friends who worked at the restaurant, had set aside part of the restaurant for their gathering. Some of the friends the girls had made in the music department, their neighbors from the dorms, some of Laurie's sorority sisters and some people they had met through Heather's karaoke sessions were all going to be there. It was strange. Just months earlier, most of these people wouldn't have been caught dead together, much less for Heather's benefit. But after that life altering summer down on the ranch, the three girls had relaxed and became happier, and that new attitude had gone over well with their peers. She thought back to those days on the ranch. She wished that Jane, Freddie and Michelle could be there. Especially Michelle. Alice found herself missing the muscular woman more and more. But those women weren't going anywhere without Jane, and Jane wasn't up to that kind of travel yet. She was at home on the ranch, but still had to take periodic trips to the nearest medical center to make sure that her head was healing up well from surgery and that the benign tumor she had removed hadn't returned. Alice knew they would be calling Laurie's new cell phone to talk to Heather later on. Maybe she could talk to Michelle then.
