use at any time.” He says “Pack light, I will arrange for all your needs once you arrive.”
    “Alright, I’ll do it.” I say quietly.
    “What am I suppo sed to tell my friends?”  I ask out loud. More to myself than to him, but he answers.
“Tell them the truth.  Friends from the club arranged for you to be a travel companion in Greece for the next 30 days.”
    We hang up and I sit staring at my phone. Greece. I am going to Greece for the next thirty days. I wonder if this is how an arranged marriage feels.  In ten minutes I’m home.
    The lights are still on inside the house, good; I need to have a chat with my friends.

    “You’re going where!?” Cheri exclaimed loudly.
    “There is just something about him that makes me feel like this will be a good thing. Besides, it’s not like he’s a stranger. John and Mark are good friends with him; I know they wouldn’t put me in harm’s way.” I explain, getting defensive.
    “A month is a long time, what if you change your mind the first week?” Lauren asks from where she is seated on the couch.
    “I can end this at anytime and I will be compensated for the time I’m spent.”  I say, reassuring myself as much as her.
    “Tell us why you want to go . Is it just about the money?” Cheri asks concerned.
    “No, it’s about finally being able to feel something different sexually . When I was with him not only did sex feel different, I felt different about myself.” All of a sudden I am exhausted, should I have to defend myself to them? The look at me for what seems like forever and then turn to look at each other.
    “If you are sure this is what you want, we support you.” Cheri says.   Lauren nods in agreement and scoops us up in a group hug. 
    “ Please be safe” she whispers into my hair.
    “ I will, I promise. And thanks guys, for everything. Guess I better go pack” I say and head up to the loft.
     
    The next morning, I am starting to feel good about my decision. My bags are almost packed and I as I run down my checklist, and realize my passport is nowhere to be found. For the next half hour Lauren and I rummage through boxes trying to locate it “Hey Viv, what are these boxes marked with a blue x?  Do you think it could be in one of those?” she says, moving to tear the tape off the top of the nearest box.
      “NO! Don’t touch those. ” I yell franticly, running to the doorway of the closet.  
    “ Geez Viv don’t bite my head off I’m just trying to…” she trails off and looks from the boxes into my scared, wide eyes. “Is that what I think it is?”
    “ I just…have fragile things in there that I am not prepared to go through” I say ushering her out of the room “Why don’t you make us some coffee and I’ll keep searching for the passport.” 
     
    I find my passport and place it in the front zipper of my backpack.  I roll up two bikinis and a few sundresses, put my sunglasses on top of my head and put my favorite heels in my bag just in case. 
“Alright, I’m ready. I got my passport, photo ID, credit card and some cash.” I announce, lugging my bags down the stairs. 
    As we sit at the table together having coffee we pick up where our conversation left off.  
    “I know it seems like I have to keep apologizing to you lately Lauren, but I’m sorry” I say with sincerity.
    “ Its fine,” she says with a dismissive wave of her hand. “I knew what the job entailed going in.  Don’t think I won’t take my turn to be the crazy friend.”
    I laugh, “ Well aren’t we a pair? What would you mom say now if she were here?”  
    “Life isn’t always roses; you need to learn to take the good with the bad.  It takes compost and sunshine together to help roses grow beautiful and strong.”  Lauren quotes. The memory of Lauren’s mom makes me smile. 
    “ You looked just like her, when you said that right now.”
    “Thanks that means a lot to me.” Lauren says with tears in her eyes.
