“Have you lost your friggin’ mind?”
“You can’t stay here. You don’t do crazy.”
Ellie Lambert looked at her two friends and smiled. Maybe she had expected them to understand, to support her decision, but it didn’t matter. Not much, anyway. She had had an epiphany. Her mind was made up.
Sometimes life changes on a dime, she realized. You’re plodding along in one direction and poof! You’re headed somewhere totally different, like Robert Frost’s two roads diverged, and this damn well was not going to be the road not taken. It might be a death, a birth, a divorce, a revelation or, like now, a crazy epiphany. You might be in the right place at the wrong time or the wrong place at the right time. Or just maybe, if the planets align, you might be in the right place at the right time. Of course, if you’re human, it might take you awhile to realize this. So then maybe life changes on a quarter. Or even on a fifty-cent piece. Do they even make those anymore?
“Starting today maybe I do do crazy. I’ll be fine,” she told her friends, and she knew she would be.
