“Mm, this looks nice,” April said as she held up a pink
baby’s christening dress, “that is if I have a little girl.” She
was just about to pick up a matching blue outfit when someone on
the other side of the table asked, “Is that you, April?” “Who is
it?” she asked while trying to focus on the questioner. “It’s me,
Lin Park, you know from college, back then I was Lin Yamana.”
“Lin,” April cried, “how long has it been, four years, now?” as she
walked around the table to meet her old college chum. “Gosh it’s
good to see you again,” Lin offered as the two women gave each
other a big hug. “You too,” April gushed, “I see you’re in the
same condition I am.” “Yup,” Lin replied, “I’m due in about five
weeks, what about you?” “Six, but all of my sisters had their
first one a week early, so I’m ready for anything,” she replied
with a laugh, “Is this your first, too?” “Uh huh,” Lin replied,
“do you know what yours is gonna be yet, Tom and I didn’t want to
know.” “Us either,” April answered quickly, “that would take half
the fun out of it!” “Say,” April said brightly, “I have my car
right outside the store and I don’t live too far away, why don’t
you come over and we’ll have some coffee and reminisce about old
times?” Lin checked her watch and after thinking about it for a
moment replied, “Sure, why not, Tom has to work late tonight
anyway, let’s go.”
