Marlin's Faith: The Virtues Book II (35 page)
“Charity…”
“Oh, whatever Corporal Badass! I don’t need to walk down some stupid aisle and across some fucking stage, in front of a bunch of gawking people I don’t know, to feel like I accomplished what I did.”
I heard a male voice that could have been Cutter or Marlin say “Damn!” on the other end of the line and Hope and Faith dissolved into peals of laughter, which made me laugh too.
“By my estimation you have six weeks of classes left,” Hope said and I rolled my eyes.
“Yeah, so what? I can do them in the time frame I gave you.”
“Charity –”
“I do what I want!” I said in a mock tough-guy tone; more laughter ensued. I’d never been one to take my oldest sister too seriously, Faith did and then some, covering us both on that front.
“Fine, you do what you want and get your ass down here,
with
your diploma or I’m kickin’ your ass!” Hope said.
“Aye, aye, Captain tight wad!” I crowed and I heard Cutter in the background say, “Hey! Watch it now.”
It took a few minutes for the laughter to subside and for the three of us to get a grip and say goodbye. I smiled after I ended the call and breathed in deep and let it out.
It was time for the three of us girls to inhabit the same space again… I couldn’t wait.
