Synopsis…
Four words continue to
haunt me . . .
You. Have. Breast. Cancer.
I associate them with the upheaval of my life to this point. The last few
months have been a test of my strength . . . mentally, emotionally, and
physically. Cancer is a monster. It preys on your mind and it consumes you,
consistently reminding you of how your life used to be. Life before cancer. I was a successful business woman,
running my own design firm, and was happily married to my college sweetheart.
My life seemed perfect. Until it suddenly came crashing down all around me.
So, here I am, in the
midst of treatment, incinerating the remnants of my shattered marriage and
attempting to piece the rest of my life back together. With three amazing
friends pushing me forward, the ‘post-chemo’ finish line is coming into view.
And then . . . there’s
him. The man I never anticipated. The one who breathes hope and meaning back
into my life. A man who kisses my scars and shows me that I’m beautiful. I
never expected him. Hell, I never expected cancer. I’m finally ready to write
my future, a future I never planned on, but one that is better than I could’ve
ever imagined.
After turning on “Survivor” by Destiny’s Child I got to work on the
pancakes. The butter was melting in the glass pie pans in the oven while I
whisked the batter and sang along to the song. “After all of the darkness and
sadness. Soon comes happiness.” Setting the bowl down on the counter, I danced
over to the oven to pull the pans out and continued to shake my ass.
When I turned back around to get the bowl, I noticed Blake leaning
against the wall in the doorway watching me with humor dancing in his eyes. “As
a child I dreamt of finding Wonder Woman dancing provocatively in my kitchen
while making dinner. Guess they’re right when they say, never give up on your
dreams.” He smirked as he pushed off the wall. “You look hot. Don’t let me stop
you.”
He grabbed a bottle of sparkling water and perched himself on a stool.
“What are you making anyway?”
“German pancakes. A friend and I used to make them growing up. They are
the perfect mix of sweet and salty with the butter and syrup combo . . . and
can make a very sticky mess.”
“A sticky Wonder Woman? Wow. This just keeps getting better.”
I placed the pans back in the oven to bake and put the bowl in the sink
to soak. “So Doc McHottie has a thing for Wonder Woman, huh?” I taunted him
while wiping my hands on a kitchen towel.
“Doc McHottie has a thing for the Wonder Woman that was dancing in his
kitchen a few moments ago.”
