Pilates videos?” she asked. Desiree nodded.
    “ Yeah, why?” she asked.
    “ Because I will need about three extra hours after eating this,” Cynthia said as she pulled one of the chicken pieces out of the bag. She smiled as she picked out one french fry and bit into it before she started on the chicken. As the two ate, Desiree’s phone kept on ringing but she kept hitting ignore and Cynthia knew better than to ask her to pick up the call.
    After about half an hour, the house phone rang. Desiree looked at Cynthia and shook her head. “I have to pick it up, Dee. We don’t have the vibrate option on landlines,” she said as she stood up and walked to the kitchen. Desiree watched as her cousin picked up the phone. She knew that it would definitely be Taylor looking for her, judging by the way he had been calling her for the past hour.
    “Oh hi, Taylor, long time no see,” Cynthia said. “Who? Dee? Yeah she’s here,” she said looking at Desiree who was now shaking her head. “But you know what, I think it would be better if you gave her some time to cool off. I won’t lie to you and tell you she is not here when I am looking right at her, but to be honest, she just doesn’t want to talk to you,” she said. Desiree took a long deep breath and leaned back. She didn’t care what Cynthia said after that, so long as Taylor got the point: that she didn’t want to see him.
    “ Sooner or later you are going to have to talk to him,” Cynthia said as she walked back to the couch.
    “ I know but I’d rather it is later rather than sooner. I don’t think I want anything to do with him,” she said.
    “ Yeah, I got that,” Cynthia said as she sat down. “It’s weird. I always thought you and Taylor were the most perfect couple. The way the two of you are always able to communicate. What happened? I mean, if the two of you can’t work out then there is no hope for the rest of us,” she said as she went on to eat her chicken. Desiree smiled and pulled the burger from the bag.
    “ I didn’t know you thought that highly of me…and Ericson,” she said smiling.
    “ Oh, you are the best example of what a relationship should be like,” Cynthia said as Desiree took a bite of the burger. “Maybe I should have taken part in the speed dating rather than hosting it,” she added. Desiree laughed.
    “ That speed dating thing did not work very well for some of the people there,” she said.
    “ Oh come on, look at you and Taylor,” she said. “You guys are…cute and perfectly in love,” she added, smiling.
    “ Yeah but look at the likes of Mark. Remember him? The rich douche?” Desiree asked. Cynthia smiled.
    “ Guess everyone has to kiss their fair share of frogs before getting to their prince,” she said.
    “ Guess so,” Desiree said before she took another bite of the burger. “I am going to be wildly constipated after this,” she said smiling. Cynthia looked at her and smiled. She knew how her cousin was when she didn’t want to talk about stuff and that was exactly what she was doing right now, changing the subject. She reached over and touched Desiree’s knee.
    “ You guys will be just fine,” she said smiling. Desiree smiled and nodded.
    “ I know,” she said as she stood up and walked to the kitchen. She took a bottle of water from the fridge and then walked to her room. When she closed the door behind her, she could not help but wonder whether she was being too hard on Taylor. She wanted to cut him some slack because after all, he was a man who worked hard and had just cut his big break. But she also needed him to be aware of his choices, how they affected their future. She opened the water bottle and took a long sip before she walked to her closet. She pulled out one of her old shoe boxes and then sat on the edge of the bed as she opened the box. She still did not know how no one had ever figured it out, that box was where she kept all her secrets. Her old family photos, her
