It was 3 A.M. Mara, who moonlights as an insomniac these days planning the details of her August 11 wedding, was coming into our room to go to bed. I was deeply asleep, but for some reason at that exact moment I opened my eyes a little and saw a dark figure walking towards me. All of a sudden, I was wide awake. I sucked in a breath and sort of bounced back on my bed, hitting the wall.
The next thing I heard was laughter. Uncontrollable Mara-giggling. All the air went out of me.
"Mara!"
"Tee-hee hee, tee-hee hee..."
"It wasn't that funny!"
"Tee-hee. Tee-hee hee..."
According to Mara, I spoke in a groggy zombie-voice (which makes sense because I had been sound asleep about 30 seconds before). She just started laughing harder.
(p.s.- about the part about a wedding... Mara and Josh are engaged. As of last Wednesday.)
In the words of Jessica: "That was great!"
