" Helen blushed as the young newlywed hugged her . " How was your wedding ? " " I have pictures . " The young Vietnamese woman sat on her rolling stool between the two women .

Bunny pulled out her phone and they oohed and awed over her wedding to Ty six years ago . " You were beautiful bride . " Bian told her . " Not as pretty as you . God , I wish I had worn red or purple or something other than two shades above pasty white girl . I look so ... " " White ? " Helen suggested with a grin as she looked at the screen . " I was going to say pale , but yeah , let's go with white . " Bian smiled at Bunny . " You two are like vanilla and chocolate . You have pretty babies . " " Not yet . " Bunny said shaking her head no . Bian laughed as she put her phone away and started on Helen's nails . Pearl moved to the other side of Bunny and started on her nails also . Freddie refilled their mimosas as they continued to talk . Looking at her purple toe nails with gold flowers and purple nails with gold ombre sparkles , Bunny decided that this had to happen more often . 1 " Pearl , go ahead and book this chair every Saturday morning from today until the end of time . And about two weeks after . God , Helen , you are a genius . " " I wouldn't go that far . " Helen laughed as she held her matching nails next to the other woman's . " Whatever . " Bunny laughed . " We have to show off our nails . Let's do brunch . " Bunny told Helen to keep her gift certificate , today was on her , Bunny then drove them over to have brunch at a little café just off the square where they sat near the fireplace . Bunny recommended the English breakfast and Helen was amazed at the amount of food placed in front of them , " Don't worry , I'll eat it all . " Bunny laughed . " I have a hyperactive thyroid and hypoglycemia , so I eat a lot . A whole lot . The men tease me about what I'd be like pregnant . " Bunny's eyes widened as she realized what she said .

I promise to stop if you promise to think of three things about you that are loveable . " " I can do that right now . " Helen beamed . " Jaxon , Jolene and JD . " " Being a great mom only counts as one . " " But- . " " Uh . Uh . Uh . " Bunny shook her head cutting the other woman off . " Once you gave birth , they were no longer a part of you . But you are , without a doubt , a great mom . " " Hi ladies , I'm Reagan , sorry it took me so long to get over here . " " You're fine . " Bunny smiled at the waitress . " I want the English breakfast ; over easy , wheat toast and coffee . " " Alright . And you , Miss ? " the woman wrote it down on her pad . " I'm looking for something healthy and lot less than that . " Helen said apologetically . She hated the idea of someone having to do a lot of work for her . " Do you like avocado toast ?
