She's done it. Barb smiles to herself as she settles into her assigned window seat. Coach, it's cramped but she doesn't even mind. She's going to Chicago. To meet her friend. Singular. She has a friend...a normal, non-sisterwife, non-polygamous friend. Someone she can just be Barb around. Herself.
Almost childishly giddy from the excitement of it all, she plays with the printed copy of her hotel reservations. An entire weekend of no worries. She's going to shop. Eat at restaurants. See the sights. And most importantly, have an honest heart to heart with Abby, try to sort out the chaos that her life has become.
Sarah has let Barb borrow her new iPod, a replacement for the one lost a few months ago. After fussing with the small pink device, Barb puts the earbuds in and settles back to enjoy Foreigner and Boston...all the way to Chicago. She's still humming "I Want To Know What Love Is" under her breath as she makes her way to the hotel's shuttle service at the airport. Grinning, she pulls out her cell phone and dials Abby's number.
