beauty parlor

Beauty parlors are full of whispers, even when they’re empty.
did you hear Alan’s back in the hospital? They won’t say what it is but he’s so skinny, Tanya, his shirt was hanging off his bones the last time I visited. I don’t know. I just don’t know…
she said he loves her but he makes her feel so bad, and I said “Honey, that’s not love,” but she just shook her head and said, “I know, I know….”
Lanie told me she was in the store and she saw Michael buying some flowers, but oh Sue, I’ve been waiting all week and he hasn’t brought them home.
Could you put a little bit of that shiny stuff in today, sweetie? My Sam is getting out today and I haven’t seen him in three years.
Stay a while, still a while, and you’ll hear them, too.
