**Gray**
I have a friend who is turning gray, not just her hair, and I do not know why this is so. Is it a lack of vitamin E pantothenic acid, or B-12? Or is it from being frantic and alone? 'How long does it take you to love someone?' I ask her. 'A hot second,' she replies. 'And how long do you love them?' 'Oh, anywhere up to several months.' 'And how long does it take you to get over loving them?' 'Three weeks,' she said, 'tops.' Did I mention I am also turning gray? It is because I *adore* this woman who thinks of love in this way.
