Chapter 16

The barn dance was in high gear by the time they arrived. Layne spotted Stick on the dance floor slow dancing with her newest interest, even though the band was playing a fast number. When Molly complained that her legs were sore from being on a horse all day, Jenny dragged Stacy onto the dance floor.

“I’ve got nothing but slow dances in me tonight,” Molly yelled over the music as she wove her way to an empty table.

“I’ll keep you company,” Layne said, “after I get us all something to drink. What do you want?”

“Got it covered.” Ronnie set a bucket of longneck beers on the table. “Unless you want another pitcher of margaritas.”

Layne put a hand to her stomach. “Beer is fine.”

Ronnie dropped into a chair, opened a beer, and drank half of it before the other two had settled. “It’s been fun, but I’m happy to be going home.”

“I’m homesick, too,” Molly said as she grabbed her own beer. She watched as Layne looked out over the dance floor, and Ronnie stared at Layne. Something in Ronnie’s eyes made Molly squirm. She reached over and touched Ronnie’s arm. “I miss my bed.”

Ronnie looked at her for a second as though she didn’t comprehend. “Yeah, me too.” Ronnie turned back to Layne, who was still staring at the dancers, her beer unopened in her hand. “Did you see Stick?”

Layne turned to the opposite side of the room where Stick was still snuggled up with her dance partner. “Yes, she’s moved on.” Slowly, her head turned back to where Jenny and Stacy were dancing.

Ronnie took a long pull from her beer and set it on the table. “I’ve noticed that you can’t seem to look at anything else besides what’s out there,” she said, pointing to them. “So dance with me, Layne.”

Layne looked guilty when she faced Ronnie. “I’m just gonna hang out here with Molly. I’m sure Jenny won’t care if you cut in.”

Ronnie stood, glaring down at Layne. “Molly, do you mind if I steal Layne for a few?”

“Uh…no.” Molly felt if she’d said yes it would’ve made no difference. Ronnie took Layne by the hand and half dragged her to the floor. Jenny, come back. Molly hoped if she repeated it in her mind enough times, Jenny would somehow pick up on it and return. When she didn’t, Molly’s mantra changed to Switch partners because something’s about to blow. And then things turned worse, the band began a slow song. Molly watched as Ronnie basically shoved Layne into Stacy’s arms and grabbed Jenny by the hand.

“I wanted to dance with Layne,” Jenny was saying as they came back to the table.

“Let them dance, so we can talk.” Ronnie fixed her gaze on Molly as she sat down. “Everyone’s been acting funny since we left New Orleans. I want to know why and I want to know now.”

“What do you mean?” Jenny said with a forced laugh.

Ronnie stared into Molly’s eyes. “You know exactly what I mean, don’t you?”

Jenny tried a different tack.
