Assignment #2: Short Story

Time for this week's assignment. Please see the picture below. I would like all of my loyal readers to take a look at this picture and write a short story, no more than 2000 words about what they see; how they imagine this scene to have happened. Who are these women? Friends? Lovers? What are they reading? Be creative and have fun! (I would like to thank Marciposa for participating in last week's assignment...not once, but twice!)
