They all stayed on the floor, listening to several more songs before Tiffany said, “God, this floor is killing my back. I feel old.”
Mackenzie and Molly both laughed.
“And for the record, we are old,” Mackenzie replied.
“I wanted to say the same thing, but figured I would tough it out until one of you cracked.” Molly started to get up.
Mackenzie and Tiffany groaned as they eased themselves off the floor. Working quietly as a team, they cleaned up the remnants of their dinner.
“I would totally live here, Molly,” Mackenzie commented as she tossed several cartons into a waste basket.
Tiffany was wiping up some sticky Kung Pao sauce. “Seriously. This studio is so fabulous. You need to let me move in here.”
“I do love this place.” Molly looked around at her kingdom. An enormous clear-glass shelf that held her many awards was against one of the walls. Expensive frames that contained some of her best work were hung precisely in the perfect locations. Various shades, light fixtures and tons of other photography gear were set up in one corner. The room celebrated her. It showcased all of her efforts but, more importantly, it proudly displayed her passion for this form of art.
After every last morsel was cleaned and the work space was back to being immaculate, they made their way back to the window. The sun had long since disappeared, leaving the city lights to twinkle silently as the three of them stared out at the busy traffic below.
“Thank you again, guys. I really needed this tonight.”
Mackenzie and Tiffany linked their arms through hers as she stood in the middle.
She would be lost without them. They knew all her secrets and her fears. They had supported her during her moments of crippling self-doubt. They’d loved her when she was at her worst. They’d dried her tears when critics had given her harsh reviews. They were her cheerleaders. They’d pushed her to continue to pursue her dream so many times when she’d just wanted to give up. They had been the first to celebrate when she finally did become successful and had told her countless times how much she deserved it.
These women were more than just friends. They were her tribe, her sisters. They were Molly’s everything.
