âMen are stupid stupid faces!â I slurred, raising my glass.
âThe stupidest,â Scarlett obliged. âNo offense, babe.â Devlin was our designated driver.
âNone taken,â he promised, elegant and gorgeous in navy slacks and a cashmere sweater with tiny threads loose around the cuffs. Kitten Jedediah, named for Scarlettâs moonshine-making bootlegging great-grandad, was hellbent on destroying everything the happy couple owned.
âWould you like to talk about it?â Devlin offered.
I certainly would. I launched into my sixteenth explanation of exactly why Bowie made me so damn mad, except this time I couldnât quite remember the specifics. Thankfully, I had enough wits about me not to bring up the clusterfuck with Connelly at work. And the pictures. I shuddered. I couldnât stop thinking about the pictures. There was something soâ¦dark about them.
I knew the Bodines would want to know about the pictures. But I didnât want them to get their hopes up. With Connelly running the show someone could produce a notarized suicide note from Callie and heâd still try for an arrest warrant on a Bodine.
So instead of talking about it, I drank.
Weâd started at The Lookout and then made our way to a bar called The Still farther west. It was easier to get shit-faced in a place where you wouldnât be as likely to have to arrest someone in a week.
The Still was a little shabbier than The Lookout. The floors were stickier, the darts were sharper, but the drinks were poured with heavier hands. Drunk was I. But not too far gone to forget to hydrate regularly and stuff fried food down on top of the liquor.
âJune Bug, come take a selfie,â my mom screeched. Nadine Tucker didnât let her hair down often, but when she did, she could rival Scarlett in party antics. Iâd spilled my guts to her this afternoon about the Dad and Bowie situation, and in solidarity sheâd left my father home with a frozen TV dinner.
June, mourning the career-ending injury of her fantasy football receiver and the lack of a Turkey Tuesday, came along to mope alongside me. Leah Mae and Scarlett were the only chipper ones in the group. But their good moods buoyed mine enough to keep me from thinking too hard about Connelly.
âLula!â Scarlett shouted over the country twang of the band on the stage. The band was horrible, but the drinks were cheap, and thatâs how I was blitzed out of my gourd before 9 p.m.
I swiveled on my stool and slid right off. Devlin, kind gentleman that he was, helped me back up. âLuuuuuulaaaaaa,â I crooned. âYouâre so pretty!â
Lula was a massage therapist who ran the Bootleg Springs Spa. She was annoyingly beautiful with her flawless dark skin and fabulous thick hair. She was wearing a plaid shirt knotted above the top of her probably size four jeans.
I magnanimously chose not to hold that against her.
âIâm here to get the dirt on you and Bowie,â she told me.
âBowie is a stupid face and you need a drink to hear why,â I insisted.
