Despite the knowing feeling of someone approaching her from behind, Carrie kept her eyes focused on her wife and mother in-law who were currently inside of the room, separated from her by a thick layer of glass speaking with the doctor.
“Hey Care, can I uh…talk to you for a second.”
Slowly she tore her eyes away from the women in front of her and turned to face her wife’s best friend. “Of course, what’s up?”
“Well,” Ashley began carefully, “Okay…we may have a bit of a situation on our hands. Actually, when I say ‘we’ I kind of really mean me because it’s kind of my fault…”
Carrie eyed the other girl carefully before shifting her attention back towards Kelly’s hospital room. “Is she okay?” She asked concerned.
“What?” Ashley followed Carrie’s gaze and nodded, “Yeah, she’s fine. This isn’t really about her…okay, it kind of is but—“
Carrie quickly turned back to Ashley. “Will you stop dancing in circles and just spit out whatever the heck it is you’re trying to say?”
Ashley nodded again and took a deep breath. “Jill is coming with us; well she’s planning on meeting us there.” She finally said, briefly withholding the rest of her news.
Carrie shrugged her shoulders. “That seems harmless enough, why would that…oh.” She said; her face suddenly changing as realization slowly sank in. “She’s not coming alone.” She continued flatly.
“That’d be correct.”
“No.”
Ashley’s eyebrows scrunched together. “No?”
“No.” Carrie repeated firmly, “Absolutely not, a thousand times no. Why the hell would she even want to see her?”
“I don’t think Jill exactly gave her a choice in the matter.”
She pressed a hand to her forehead and faced the glass again. “Kelly doesn’t even remember what happened between them. I mean, she knows that they’re obviously not together anymore but she doesn’t exactly remember the details of how that came about and what happened between them after.”
“I know, but I think Jill has this strange idea in her head that she can fix things between them, on a strictly friend level of course.”
“I don’t know, Ash. Do you honestly think it’d be best for Kelly to be around her not knowing anything about their fall out? Would that be fair to her?” She questioned, crossing her arms over her chest.
Ashley shook her head. “No, I suppose it wouldn’t be completely fair to her…thinking that everything between them is cool when it isn’t. Maybe she and Kate could sit and talk…”
“One, what exactly would they talk about? And two, we both know Kate never really was good about speaking up. I thought the point of this whole ‘getaway’ was to let Kelly rest and heal and remember things on her own time. I don’t think putting Kate in her face right now is the best idea, Ash. And I’m not saying any of this for selfish reasons; I’m honestly just looking out for what’s best for Kelly.”
Ashley nodded. “Right, I completely understand what you’re saying but it’s kind of like your situation with Kelly. I mean, there are things about you guys that she doesn’t even remember which will come back to her in time, so really we’re all kind of in the same boat as far as her memory is concerned. Maybe seeing Jill and Kate will help bring back some memories for her and maybe she’ll remember everything soon. It can’t hurt to try.”
Before Carrie could form a proper response Jeanne and Kelly’s doctor were stepping from the room. “Hey, is everything okay?” Carrie wondered out loud, eyeing Jeanne worriedly as the doctor slowly began his descent down the hall in the opposite direction.
“Yeah honey, everything is fine. There’s just a tiny change of plans.” Carrie eyed her mother in-law, waiting for her to continue. “Dr. Coleman said it’d be best if Kelly didn’t travel just yet, which I agree with completely. I guess I just got kind of excited about getting her back home that I wasn’t thinking clearly.”
Carrie nodded in understanding. “So she’d have to stay here then? That’s fine too; she has been living here with me for the last five years. It definitely couldn’t hurt in this whole memory recovery process.”
Ashley cleared her throat and caught Carrie’s eye. “So…”
“Nuh uh…Texas was one thing Ash, her coming here and staying at our house is another.”
Jeanne looked back and forth between the two of them. “What are y’all babbling about?”
“Jill and Kate.” Ashley and Carrie replied in unison.
Jeanne sighed. “Oh boy.”
