This story is a complete work of fiction, and all character references have only coincidental similarity with any real person either living or dead. nnRemember the difference between fantasy and reality is as fundamental as the difference between right and wrong.nn********************nn”What a wonderful wife you’ll make someone.” Anna’s friend Lauren tossed the now empty banana skin into the kitchen bin.nn“Well if you can’t help a friend when she’s injured, when can you help them?” Anna replied. Lauren had hurt her right ankle in a fall recently and Anna had just completed the weekly shopping for her.nn“You’re an absolute doll.
