know his name. He was not staying long in my life anyway,” Cynthia said.
    “ I’m sorry?” Desiree asked confused.
    “ He enlisted and…I can’t…I can’t go through that again. I’m done with soldiers,” Cynthia said. Desiree gave her a sad smile and took her hand in hers.
    “ I’m so sorry, cuz. I wish there was something I could do,” she said. Cynthia shook her head.
    “ I think that at this point, I am done with men, they’re all liars and bastards and the world would be better off without them and their selfish desires” she said bitterly.
    “ That’s what I used to say before I met Ericson, remember?” Desiree said.
    “ Well, men are there, but there are not so many good ones left,” Cynthia said before taking another sip of her coffee.
    “ If there is one thing I am sure of, it is that you, Cynthia Monroe, are a beautiful and strong woman. There is a man out there for you. A man that will see you for the proud Nubian sister you are and he will love you. I am certain of it,” Desiree said as she looked into her cousin’s mournful eyes.
    “ Yeah, yeah. Enough about me. I want to hear about you and that stolen moment of illicit passion with Leon,” Cynthia said smiling gleefully.
    “ Of course she told you that. But there is nothing more to tell,” Desiree said.
    “ Oh come on, there has to be more. Was it that kind of touch- and- go kiss or was it one of those where you want to pull away but for some reason you just can’t?” Cynthia asked. Desiree looked awkward for a moment, why was everyone so interested in her love-life? She wondered.
    “ I don’t know, Cynthia. I guess it took me a second to piece together everything that was going on,” she said.
    “ Wow girl, that’s tight! And what now? What’s going to happen?” Cynthia asked.
    “ Well, when push comes to shove you know you have to do something. I had to get a restraining order otherwise he would have just stalked me right up to my grave, maybe even beyond” she shuddered.
    “ That serious huh?” Cynthia asked. Desiree rolled her eyes and nodded.
    “ Oh yeah. We had some good times but at least I knew when to let go ,but him? It’s a whole new degree of crazy,” she said.
    “ Yeah, he told me of the divorce and I thought he was kidding at the time,” Cynthia said. Desiree looked at her and raised an eyebrow.
    “ Wait, he told you of the divorce? When? Why didn’t you tell me?” she asked.
    “ He came to me trying to get me to talk to you and he said he had filed for divorce. And he wanted me to tell you too, but I thought that it was just one of his ploys to try and win you back. I just told him to stick it up his flabby country ass and get out. I didn’t want to upset you. It happened at around the same time Mark propositioned you,” Cynthia explained. Desiree shrugged.
    “ Guess it’s for the best. I have never had a man come after me like this. I hate to say this but this is too damn creepy,” she said. “And to think I once loved the scumbag,” she added as she shook her head. Just then, she heard her phone buzzing. She looked at the screen and sighed. “It’s Tony. They are fifteen minutes away,” she said. Cynthia smiled and got up.
    “ Guess we better hustle then,” she said as she carried the two mugs to the kitchen. Desiree followed her to the kitchen and put on an apron as Cynthia emptied the food into saucepans. The whole point of the day was to trick Rochelle that they had been cooking all day. Not that they were not good cooks but Rochelle lived her life like a Kardashian. She had some kind of self-entitlement that her birthdays had to be super special. Given her own way, she would have had a twenty thousand dollar party just because she could do it. And, true to his word, Tony walked in after fifteen minutes. He was with Rochelle and another man who he introduced as Pete, his old college roommate. Desiree raised her eyebrow when she heard the man speak. He had a clear, precise and
