I slept really late the next day. When I finally woke, I felt relaxed and well-rested. I’d tried to pace myself the night before and stay tipsy without crossing into full-blown drunk. When I got home, before my alone time, I’d guzzled some water to help rehydrate me.

It had worked. I felt great and had a sizzling date to look forward to. I called Harley to find out what services her salon offered.

She answered in a tight voice. “What’s wrong?” I asked.

A long breath being released answered me. “Are you in labor?” I squealed.

“I don’t know yet,” she said after a few more breaths. “I’m having contractions but they’re very sporadic.”

“Can I come over? Do you need anything?” I jumped up and looked around the bedroom as if I was going to run over there and catch the baby myself or something.

“No, please, it’s super boring. We’re sitting here timing each one and watching TV.”

“That sounds amazing. I’ll be right there.”

I hit the shower and grabbed my purse. By the time I got to the house, Nana was snoozing in her chair in the living room. The nurse answered the door. “Her contractions stopped,” she whispered. “So she went to nap. She tried to call you.”

I grabbed my phone and realized it was on silent. I was bad about hitting the little button on the side that silenced it. “Thank you,” I whispered. “I’ll text her later.”

The sweet nurse nodded and shut the door. I found myself back in my car with nothing to do now. Except maybe hit the salon and get that pedicure I’d missed the other day.

I made it to Main Street without using GPS. I was turning into a regular Black Claw citizen.

The salon wasn’t busy, so they got me in right away. While my toes were soaking, I asked quietly about a bikini wax and found out they did offer the service and could get me in right away. And best of all, they asked if I’d be interested in letting a trainee do it for a discount.

Hot damn. I would’ve paid full price if I’d needed to. I wasn’t about to drop Harley’s name or something crappy like that. But letting a trainee practice? Hells, yeah. It also meant I could leave a bigger tip.

All in all, the morning turned to afternoon and by the time I left the salon, I felt like a million bucks. I even let them give me a blow-out so I wouldn’t have to fix my hair before the date.

As I got ready, carefully applying makeup, my phone rang the ringtone I’d selected for Harley. “We are Family” by Sister Sledge. Seemed fitting.

I hit the answer button, then tapped the speakerphone icon. “Hey!” I chirped.

“How are you feeling?”

“Huge. I’m sorry I missed you earlier.” She sounded so forlorn I had to chuckle.

“Poor almost-mama. It’s okay. I went to your salon and had a good pampering, now I’m getting ready for my date.”

Her squeal made me jerk my head away from the phone, even though it was lying on the countertop.
