          Welcome to this weeks Tuesday Tales to the word prompt Shoe.  This is the continuing story of Lorenzo and Pia.                                    At the end of the game, Pia sat in her seat, not sure what to do.   Lorenzo never told her where she should meet him. When the stadium was almost cleared, her cell phone went off.   Reaching into her bag, she pushed her flat shoes to the side and took out her phone.   She pressed the arrow.   The screen lit up with a message from Lorenzo asking her to meet him by the bullpen area. Pia thought about changing back into her flats, but nixed the idea.   She didn’t need to go far with her shoes on.    Quickly, she made her way down the ramp, walked around the s...

And don’t forget about all the help she gave Lisa thinking that she was up to her neck in debt.   All Lisa complained about was she had no money.   So every pay check, Pia would give her friend fifty dollars and paid her part...

                                                 Pia shook her head so hard, she’d swear she felt her brain shift.   Something didn’t seem right.   It wasn’t like Lisa to hold back information from her.   They had been childhood friends, sharing every milestone in their lives.   While Lisa attended law school, Pia started working.   They shared an apartment, with Pia picking up most of the tab.   They were best friends, sisters. “Start talking, Lisa.   I know you well enough to know you are holding back something from me.” “I’m not,” Lisa snapped.   “You would never understand.” “Why don’t you try me?   You never had any problem talking to me in the past.   Why is it that all of a ...
