Solitaire disrupted
Kami finally had some space to himself. His girlfriend Ginny, who would normally be at his place on a weekend like this, but was out of town with some friends. This was somewhat of a rarity for Kami who worked hard during the week in his corporate position for a small tech startup.

She felt contrite when she saw the tears streaming down Dee’s face. She had been thoughtless. Dropping the summer dress she was folding, she ran to hug and console her friend. What rotten luck that this had to happen to Dee, who to her, was the epitome of perfection. Dee was the quiet one - warm-hearted, loyal, kind and loving but no one really knew this mousy introvert who shunned too many people and lived a quiet uneventf...
