“SO WHAT DID YOU GET Hunter for Valentine’s Day?” Coralee, my
hairdresser and the owner of the local beauty parlor/gossip mill, asked as
she tilted me back to put my head in the sink.
I’d been fretting about that very issue when I’d made the impromptu
stop to get my hair cut. I’d managed to push it to the back of my mind, sort
of, but her question brought the stress crashing back. I sighed. “Nothing yet.
He already has everything that I would think to buy him. I’m horrible at
coming up with good gifts.” Valentine’s Day, Christmas, birthdays … they
gave me hives because I always ended up buying something lame at the last
minute because I can’t ever think of anything cool.
True to form, it was Valentine’s Day, and though I’d been agonizing
over what to get him for a month, I still didn’t have a clue. It was our first
one together and I wanted it to be perfect. Not mushy though, because that
just wasn’t us. Unfortunately, that ruled out the easy stuff like froo-froo
cards and candy hearts and crap like that.
As Coralee’s fake acrylics massaged my scalp, the worry faded partly
away again. It was impossible for me to stay stressed when she was doing
that. Way too soon, she finished rinsing my hair and was putting a towel
around my head. “Sugar, you better think of somethin’. Today’s the day.”
I huffed out a breath. “You don’t have to tell me. I was hoping
inspiration would strike while you were washing my hair, but no such luck.
What did you get Buddy?”
She shrugged a shoulder. “We don’t do much of that stuff anymore.
Shoot, we been together fifteen years. We figure he’s caught me and I’ve
caught him. Besides that, we keep the romance goin’ every day, if you
know what I mean.” She grinned and waggled her eyebrows at me in the
mirror. “Why, just last night, he took me up to truck pull over in Eagle Gap,
then to the Golden Corral afterwards. Nothin’ says I love you like all-youcan-eat steak.”
“Fifteen years.” I shook my head. “What’s the trick to keeping it fresh?”
Belle, the previous owner and resident ghost, popped in before Coralee
could answer. “The secret to keepin’ it fresh,” she said, “is to trade ’em in
every ten years.”
Coralee scowled at her. “Just because you were married six times
doesn’t mean the rest of us have an aversion to a lifetime commitment.” She
nudged me on the shoulder. “Ain’t that right, Noelle?”
Before I could reply, Belle humphed. “Says the woman who’s been
dating the same man for a decade and a half and still lives in her own
house.” She made a show of looking at Coralee’s ring finger. “Either that
thing’s bare, or he bought you the world’s tiniest diamond.”
Coralee furrowed her brow and swatted at her mentor, for all the good it
did; her hand passed right through her. “You know good and well we
decided right up front not to get hitched.
