NOAH

I looked over the top of the novel I’d been reading for the last few hours when I heard Tallie and Linda laugh. Again. Those two women were funny every minute they were together, but when they’d had a few glasses of wine, they were a killer comedy duo.

Tallie and I had been staying in Ted and Linda’s guest house for almost two weeks now, and I was more than ready to go home. I was going to talk to Tallie about it last night, but she and Linda had stayed up well into the night.

Now, I was sitting in the shade by the pool, watching the women sip their wine and chatter as if they’d been apart for a year rather than glued to each other for two weeks.

As they floated closer to the end of the pool near me, I heard what their conversation was about and gave up on reading. I laid my book on my chest and reached for my beer so I could settle in to eavesdrop.

Tallie and Linda’s conversation drifted from the most embarrassing wax jobs they’d had to what a gynecologist’s day must be like and then suddenly pivoted to the new fragrance line Tallie had in the works.

“I think the theme of this line, as far as advertising goes, has to be all about things women love. I’ve got this one that smells like champagne and cotton candy . . .”

“And vomit? That’s what I would think it smells like when you put those two together.”

“Fuck you, Linda. I know what I’m doing.”

“I’m not saying you don’t. I’m just saying that cotton candy doesn’t belong anywhere near champagne. If you’re going to use champagne, then pair it with strawberries.”

“That’s overdone.”

“Then pair it with something else other than cotton candy. Your idea is like taking a Vegas escort and dropping her at pee-wee cheerleading camp. The two definitely don’t go together.”

“Linda, where do you come up with this shit?”

“You’re the one that’s putting the nectar of the gods with concession stand food.”

Tallie’s head dropped back as she let out a frustrated sigh. “I like the smell of champagne. What do you suggest I pair it with? Brie?”

“Eww.” Linda splashed Tallie, and they laughed. “You could just make an entire line of scents focused on bizarre pairings.”

“Like what?”

“Fair food and old money. New cars and chocolate. Fresh grass and holiday pies . . .” Linda’s voice trailed off as she and Tallie started laughing uncontrollably.

“There are some really weird combinations on the market already, so you never know what might take off.”

“Funnel cake and pipe smoke.”

“Deep-fried Twinkies and merlot.”

“Cheese-on-a-stick and fresh laundry.”

The girls started cackling again, but Ted caught my attention when he sat in the lounge chair beside me and asked, “What are those crazy girls planning now?”

“Turkey leg and Cuban cigar!” Tallie squealed through her laughter.

“Elote with a hint of uptight pearl clutcher!”

“Yes! And we could figure out how to make the bottle sound like a gasp of outrage every time you
