Miss M and Miss H

Miss M sat down at the table and sighed... thinking... I can't let HER know, so let's see what else we can do. I know! I will take HER shopping for mundane things I need for school, then we will drive around and visit all the places I have lived and take pictures of them. After that we can go down to the Music Box aka head shop and look around. She has strong feelings for the place as well. She will like that. It will lift her spirits.
So off they go.
Miss M stops and gets a liter Diet Coke in a bottle, a cup of ice, and a straw... after all they have not had anything to drink this morning and she thinks it might bring a smile.
The phone rings, Miss M silences it... no reminders needed right now, she has a mission to keep HER from knowing, for just a little while.
Miss M takes pictures all over town. There are several houses they have lived in and she has a grand time remembering where they all are. She tries to drive them by the dance hall they practically lived in when they were younger, but it is now an adult video store with a huge fence around it so she couldn't take a picture of it. She stops at the Music Box where they both like looking around. She realizes she has been visiting this store since before any of the employees were born, which makes them both a bit sad.
She looks at tattoos, decide on one, and where to put it (a first) but she wants a better design and leaves to go home and draw one between the two of them. It was a good distraction though, they were in there over an hour.
After several hours out of the house and having done and thought about many different things,
on the way home Miss H tugs on Miss M and says...
Thank you, for pretending that everything is alright and not letting me feel the hurt for just a few hours, but it is back now.
And they both cry.
Miss M? My Mind
Miss H? My Heart
