Feel it in my bones



 "Holy shit, why didn't I see this coming," Megan's voice was low as she stood next to Caitlin in the pizzeria, waiting for someone to wait on them.

Of course, Deano was showing Cyrus the ropes who looked so out of place. He would touch the cup but didn't hand over the cup to Megan nor Caitlin. Finally, after the fifth try they both got drink cups.

"It's another doppelganger," Megan whispered to Caitlin. Finally, Caitlin noticed as her eyes sprang back with surprise. She wanted to smile, but she held it in. Cyrus was a Shawn Mendes look alike.

"Huh, I wonder what Melvin's old uncle looks like." Megan practically held her jaws closed as she mumbled this to Caitlin.

"Well, Cyrus' kind of a nice surprise," Caitlin shrugged.

Still, Cyrus struggled with their order and the cash register.

"You'll get the hang of it," Deano promised. Cyrus only looked at him as if he did his best to think so when both Megan and Caitlin thought he might be useless.

"I doubt he's ever swept a floor," Caitlin said under her breath.

"But..but he's so pretty." Megan nudged Caitlin.

"Pretty as Cori?"

"Of course not."

"Sorry we're taking so long," Deano cut in as if to bring them back to reality.

"Oh it's OK," Megan smiled. "We have all the time in the world."

Cyrus started to punch in how much the order was, but then messed up. He gritted a grin at them. Caitlin went to get ice in her cup. Megan waited. No one was waiting at the counter, but her. Naturally, it gave her time to wonder just what kind of messed up was Cyrus.

  6. So, Harry Styles is out and Shawn Mendes is in. Very clever! And maybe just a little creepy? I love the last line, from Megan: "Naturally, it gave her time to wonder just what kind of messed up was Cyrus." I wonder too! No doubt about it, this dude's got a story.

    I love what you said about Ove having lost his "L"! That's so true and thought-provoking. It makes me happy to think that so many people have enjoyed this very special book.
