Judy

“Well?” Molly poured me another glass of wine. It was amazing how she could hold the same smirk for hours without cracking.

Garrett had to stop back at his hotel for a few hours before meeting us for dinner, so I just rode with Molly. She's been passively insufferable the whole time.

“What, well? Why are you well-ing?” I snatched the full glass from her eagerly and took a sip. “There's nothing to well about.”

Molly raised and lowered her eyebrows then deepened her grin ever so slightly, but otherwise didn't say a word.

Lucas chopped veggies on the marble island, humming a quiet tune to himself. He was working out a new song in his head. He'd been bursting with inspiration for a while now. Lucas had put out a new album each year, like clockwork, since they had William.

It was obscene how jealous I was of Gloria and Molly, with their stupid perfect lives and stupid happiness...

“Do you like the wine?” Molly asked innocuously. The wine glass covered part of her perpetual smirk. God, even her eyes smiled smugly!

“Ahh! You're so nosy!” I cracked under her relentless glare. “Yes! OK? I like him. I hate that I do, but I can't help it! Happy? Are you happy now, you horrible, horrible friend?”

I put the glass down, and ran both of my hands over my face and hair, as I slumped into their bar on my elbows. I hated hearing it out loud. It sounded so hopeless and silly.

“Ha!” Molly's smirk became a wide toothy grin. “I knew it. You were glowing so hard at the end that, I could've plugged my phone into you and gotten a good charge.”

“The Dark side is too strong with you...”

Molly cackled evilly and tapped her fingertips together rapidly.

“Frustrating, isn't she?” Lucas set down a bowl of mixed veggies and dip, then went to check on Will. He winked at his wife, then kissed her on the cheek as he passed.

“What the hell am I going to do, Moll?”

“Please.” She held up a hand stopping me. “Use the full title, Darth Moll.”

“This is serious,” I whined, and slapped the table like a child throwing a temper tantrum. I took another sip of wine and pulled myself together. “I can't fall in love with him. I NEED something from Garrett. The fate of the whole town rests in his hands.”

“That's a bit much.” Molly grabbed a carrot stick and swirled it around in the dip.

“It's not!” I snatched the carrot away from her and chomped down on it. “Caldwell Hope is in rough shape.”

“Richard and Lucas are doing what they can...” Molly's tone went somber. She saw it too. The graduating class at her school this year was at an all-time low. She was worried, but she was a master at not freaking out.

Me on the other hand...

“I know. I know. And that's great, but they're just a band aid. Jobs need to come back, and the only way that happens is with this stadium. I feel selfish about even fantasizing about him.
