The Braggers

she gets questioned by her girlfriend about her recent husband (asks questions about how his business is going, asks questions about their new place)--- being young & all she is grilled by the other as to her plans for the future & in comparison to her inquisitor she feels the need to brag on a bit about a “possible future” not yet put in motion (hopes & dreams not discussed with said new husband)--- this leads her inquisitor to get on the defensive, though still smiling & promoting the mutual amiability between them with her body language & references to the past when they were both younger. and as if the two are both pocketing their own score cards, they scribble down inside their minds those things that they must improve upon within their individual lives (after comparing themselves to each other), so that if they ever do meet again, they will have the best chance possible to one-up the other--- after all, this is what friendship is all about.
