Kind of..sort of...



 "I can't believe this is happening?" Caitlin winced as she sipped her hot creamed coffee. Was she just dreaming about what happened to Megan and Cori? 

"What are they going to do?" She hated to call. After all, Megan said everything would be fine, but of course, she would say this in the aftermath of the wedding.

"Believe it," Deano brought the egg burrito to the couch. She was actually chilling, even if she said she was working from home.

"Will they even go on a honeymoon now?" Caitlin shook her head as she went to her laptop to check her e-mails.

"Doubt it." Deano shrugged and went to clean up.

Caitlin wiggled her lips a bit still in thought about Megan, Cori, and Cora.

"That baby couldn't be his, could it?" She blurted.

Deano shook a laugh. "Now your really dreaming, Honey."

"I hope so." She typed in Cori's brother's name just to see if he might be in the database of deadbeat dads at her work. Didn't find a thing on him.

"He's got to have a clean record," she then said with a squint as she checked over the names again. "He just has to."

"Look, I know he works," Deano said. "Cori has said as much. I mean, he has to have an income to support not just his kid and girlfriend, but his mom too."

"Do you think she works?" She asked about Ali, Cora's mother.

"Um, I dunno." Deano shook his head. "She's an art student."

"Art student?" Caitlin was in the middle of eating the egg burrito.

"Yeah, we had a class together, forever ago." He rinsed a cup then

Caitlin squinted hard as she got up and went to where Deano was washing dishes.

"You know her?" Caitlin scowled.

"Kind of sort of." Deano shrugged.

  4. Oh, wow. So Deano kind of sort of knows Cora's mom. A scowl is just the Caitlin reaction I'd expect! Something is definitely going on here. I only hope that Caitlin and Deano can help Megan and Cori.

    Thanks so much for including my geometric print in the collage! It belongs to one of my favorite pairs of pants, so it was fun seeing it alongside Deano and Caitlin. :)
