Marilyn walked around the couch, “My mothers recipe box?” She opened it and traced her finger along the corner of all the index cards before getting caught off guard by the blue package. “You’re kidding, you found Oreos?”
“You’ve heard of Oreos?”
She peeled the package open, “Yes Wolfgang.” Biting down on one cookie she passed the container to Amy. “How was Pat?” Marilyn turned to Wolfgang with tears in her eyes.
“He was good mom, happy and healthy, you saw the picture, two daughters, five grandkids.”
A tear rolled down her cheek, “I miss him Wolfie, and I miss your father but I missed you the most.” Wolfie took her in his arms. “I love you son.”
“Love you too mom.” He remembered his keys and stepped back, “Look.” He pulled the keys out of his pocket, one for the bike and one for the cabin. “That's the cabin key.”
She grazed it with her thumb in her palm, “And that’s your uncle's bike key? I still can’t believe he gave you that.” She looked over at June and Amy laughing, “Dinner is in two hours, you guys wanna go home to get ready?”
“Sounds good, I want to take the bike. Do you mind watching Zeppelin in the mean time?”
“Not at all, he’s pretty sweet.” She stepped towards Amy and sat on the other side of her.
“Juniper.” Wolfie called to her.
Her head snapped to him and her eyes slowly followed, “Yes?”
“Let’s go get ready, Mom?” His eyes blinked to Marilyn as Juniper walked towards him.
“Yes?” She hardly glanced up from the pictures.
“Is dinner here?”
She smiled, “It’s at the community center, a lot of people missed you.”
June turned around wide eyed, “What?”
“There’s going to be a lot of people there.”

June’s palm opened the door to their apartment, revealing it spotless. They closed the door and looked in Max’s empty room, his old bed was made and a few of June’s things were sitting on the bed. June picked up a note, ‘June, Didn’t know if you would want your things here or in Wolfgangs room, so we got all we could in his. He has a lot of shit. Xo Whitney.’ She smirked and set it down. The kitchen had fresh flowers on the counter, their two phones next to each other and a bottle of wine. ‘Welcome home. Xo Brittanya.’ was scribbled on a piece of paper underneath.
Wolfie set his helmet down and pulled June in by the waist, brushed her hair back for a kiss then noticed the note, “Welcome home,for good.” He murmured into her ear gripping her tighter.
Juniper
“You really want to take the bike?” She stood in her underwear in the bathroom, with a dress on a hanger while Wolfie showered.
“I would like to.”
“Fine, guess I won’t wear this dress.”
“Which one?” He said frustrated.
“Doesn’t matter, I’ll have underwear on.”
“Juniper.”
“Fine, jeans it is.” She turned to walk into his closet which had become their closet. Brittanya and Whitney had done a good job. It was nice that she didn’t have a lot, she fit better. She hung up the dress and grabbed her phone.
Juniper ‘Do you have a top that is hot and goes with jeans?’
Whitney ‘Yes! I can drop it off now. Miss me being your roommate already?’
