QUOTE: "KALAS" (A.GLASS 2019)

 

“Either it could be that, when we die, we end up as aimless spirits, light forms, fumbling around in this Universe...” She points to the restaurant interior. “...or we are reborn, without memories of a previous life, into...”

“Hell,” Lowe says, finishing Kalas's sentence.

Kalas's eyes narrow, in her desirability towards the woman sitting in front of her. “Sweetie, I have to call it a night...Sorry, gotta work tomorrow.”

Both women stand.

“That's fine Sarika, it was good seeing you again. Till next time gorgeous...” Lowe holds out her hand, as Kalas gently grasps it. “...Did you sanitize?”

Kalas smiles. “Of course.”

“I'll pay, but you gotta tip.”

“For you?” Kalas replies pointing, with her left index finger, at her friend

“Yeah...For your spewing up just before.”

The both laugh as they walk towards the cashier, Kalas takes out a twenty dollar bill handing it to Lowe. Tilting her head slightly in a cheeky manner winking at her friend.

“He's the tip...And you didn't even ruffle the sheets,” Kalas says.

They both embrace.

“Only I get your sense of humor,” Lowe replies, standing next to Kalas.

“I know”
