62. Lope

Alicia was on sabbatical and trying not to remind herself that her boyfriend Jaxton had been gone for nearly a year. Sighing she turned on the television hugged her knees to her chest and sat there for a minute.

It was on Animal Planet – like it always was.

“Some Antelopes can jump eight feet”.

Pfft. “Why are they called Antelopes…is it anti-loping? No long strides here mat, it’s an Anti-Lope” she rolled her eyes.

Yes she was talking to the television but who honestly cared. Not her.

“Alicia” Kyle called, walking into the room. “ c’mon were heading out today”
