Victor's

"Whoops, sorry. I'll be right back," Victor said as he answered his cellphone. "Yeah? Sure, I'll check." He proceeded to head upstairs.

"Probably someone from the hospital he's set to work at," Meg suggested. "He's to start in a nursing position later this week."

"That's great!" Veevee said enthusiastically.

"It is," Meg agreed. "I just hope he doesn't get too overwhelmed too fast."

"I'm sure he'll do fine. He's always been smart. If he applies himself he'll over the hurdles."

"You're right, but you know as well as I do, Veevee: When you're a mom, you worry," Meg stated.

"Very true," Veevee agreed with a knowing nod.

Meg gave Veevee a fond smile. "God it's good to be home again. I've missed being around you."

"I've missed you too, Meg. Come here." Veevee pulled her friend in for a hug.

They held each other lack that for a time before Meg broke the silence. "Damn..I forgot how big your boobs were."

Veevee nearly snorted in laughter at the abrupt comment. "I've maybe added a little weight to them since the kids, but they're still about the same as college. Besides, you've never been a slouch in the boob department yourself, Meg," Veevee said, glancing at her friend's bosom.

"You always had me beat there," Meg insisted.

"Maybe, but you always had the tighter butt," Veevee pointed out.

Meg stood up, lifting her shirt in the back to show off her jean-clad bottom. "Been doing yoga every day," she said proudly.

"Wow," Veevee said in admiration. "It looks fantastic. I mean you could turn heads back in college, but now? I think you'd cause traffic accidents."

"Pfft, I'd appreciate the attention, minus inadvertently sending patients my son's way," Meg deadpanned.

Veevee chuckled. "Good point."

"You know what we should do?" Meg asked.

"What?" Veevee asked, curious.
