STRANGERS IN PARADISE 19

Flash Forward Katchoo and Francine hardly speak while Francine's daughter is in the kitchen with them. Francine showers and when Marie takes her upstairs the two go out and talk in the yard. Katchoo thinks her friend looks warn down beyond her years.   Katchoo confirms it was her at the lake the other day she came for her mothers funeral and stopped by. She tells her about the phone numbers and when asked about David she says nothing. Eventually she says that yes they married in Hawaii and lived there as they planned.  The Past Katchoo is painting Francine and when she looks she finds the paints more beautiful than she feels. When Katchoo says that what she sees Fran gets annoyed saying that what she wants her to be not who she is and storms off. Whens he locks her door too Katchoo kicks it to splinters with one kick.
