Enchanted Heart (2014)
“Vivienne and her twin sister, Vicki, were in their large kitchen preparing the evening meal. Vicki made quick work of slicing marinated chicken breasts.
“Turn the broiler off,” she said. “And those pangs are good for you.”
Viv watched her sister navigate the kitchen. “You missed your calling as a chef.”
“Nope,” Vicki said. “I’m happy doing what I do.” She grated mozzarella.
Viv filched a piece of romaine and considered that for a moment. “Why don’t you come with me tonight? I think you’ll enjoy... the author’s presentation. It’s on self-actualization.”
“No thanks. I’m as actualized as I’m going to get. Besides, I have some work to do.”
This was a sore point between them. Viv always invited; Vicki always declined. Usually with work as an excuse. For a long moment Viv didn’t say anything, then, “All right. I should be home by eleven.”
Vicki waved a hand, shooing Viv out of the way. “I’ll leave some salad for you.”
When Viv left, Vicki halted her busy work and slumped into a chair, closing her eyes.MoreLess
