She'd seen an add in the Greensheet for a real life unicorn available for kids' birthday parties and wanted him for her 's, which wasn't for another four months and twelve days. She showed the add to her dad who laughed told her she could a have unicorn piñata instead. He knew it was just a miniature horse with a fake horn. You could even see the strap on the sad little animal's head in the grainy photo. Flora kept the add under her pillow that night. Her mother threw it out the next day when she changed the bed linens.
She kind of regretted breaking up with Kyle so early. It would have been good to have somebody else around to see this. What the fuck was going to do with this creature? She stepped back inside the house to grab a few more carrots and picked up her cell phone that had been charging overnight on the kitchen counter. There was a missed call from Guy Martin at 3:37 am. The phone was on silent so it didn't wake her.
She hadn't talked to Guy in months. They'd broken up over two years ago.
