The server handed Echo a paper bag containing her food cartons, and Echo gave her a twenty, telling her to keep the change. “You didn’t offend me,” she said pleasantly. “In order for you to offend me, I would first have to care about what you had to say.” With that, she stood, said goodbye to Missy, Chas and Alex and made her way casually out of the restaurant.

“I’m so sorry, Echo, I had no idea things would turn out that way,” Missy lamented the next day over German Chocolate cupcakes and Vanilla Bean Rice Dream.
Her friend smiled indulgently. “Missy, I accepted the fact that I’m a bit on the weird side a long time ago, and I’m okay with it. If others can’t understand or accept me, that’s okay. I get it,” she said nonchalantly.
“He was cute though,” Missy mused.
“Very cute,” Echo nodded, spooning up a bite of her frozen treat. “But it takes way more than a pretty face.”
“Of course it does,” her friend agreed, munching a cupcake. “You just wait, my friend, I’ll find you a man yet,” she grinned.
“Oh my.”
The two spent the rest of the afternoon talking and giggling like school girls, then Missy drove home, delighted to see Chas’s car in the driveway. She sat for a moment, listening to an incredibly nostalgic song on the radio, enjoying the warmth of the sun on her face and basking in the knowledge that life is good.
