Historians Think We're Best Friends

It hurt, sometimes, not knowing if they could be buried together. Mona and Pearl have their names on the club, but not on any marriage certificates, not on next-of-kin rights or wills or any of the crap that even the poorest, unhappiest straight couples have rights too.
