Two Months Later:
Tess, Nikki and Kim raised their wine glasses in a quiet toast.
"To us," Tess said, as her lids lowered ever so slightly over her honey brown eyes and the curve of her wide mouth spread in a salacious grin, the bold
bronze color matching her body-hugging dress to perfection.

The trio clinked their glasses together as the Amtrak Acela Express sped out of New York City en route to Washington, D.C.

Expertly coiffed as usual, Kim's signature diamond studs sparkled against the light. Kim lowered her head and her voice to a whisper. "I still can't
believe it?
"What's not to believe? They tried to screw us and we fucked them first,"
Nicole said with a nonchalant flick of her wrist. Her tennis bracelet flashed. "The bastards deserved it."
Kim flushed crimson. She spoke from between clenched teeth. "Do you always have to talk like that?" Her blue eyes darted around the dining car to see if anyone in earshot was offended. "We can dress you up but we still can't take you out."
Nicole grinned and gave Kim a wink. "Be careful my little pretty, the wife is
always the first suspect."
"Nikki--" Tess stretched her slender hand across the table and covered Kim's pale fingers with her cocoa brown ones. "Relax. You know Nikki is just being Nikki. She loves to see you flustered, and you go for it every time."
Kim cut a look in Nicole's direction. Nicole smirked into her glass.
"Philadelphia 30th Street Station in three minutes," the conductor announced.
Nicole picked up her purse and rose.
"Both of you be sure to check the classifieds from time to time. It is how we
will communicate, should the need ever arise," Tess said.
Kimberly and Nicole nodded in agreement.
Nicole looked from one woman to the other and for an instant appeared sad.
"New city, new life." She paused, pulled and pulled in a breath of resolve.
"Thank you both," she said barely above a whisper. She turned and walked away.
"I should be getting back to my car," Kimberly muttered, before polishing
off the last of her drink. She stood. "I'm sure we won't be seeing each other
again."
Tess nodded. "You never know," she said slowly.
"Take care of yourself, Tess."
"You do the same, Kim." She smiled as Kim walked away.
