Chapter Fifteen

Mountain shots

Horrydovers turned out to be appetizers, although it took me half a glass of spritzer to figure out that Bozo had used a tweaked version of the term hors-d'oeuvres.

When we’d walked into Mary’s home, Mac had been waiting in the living room, and Carson came out of the kitchen with a tray in his hand. He walked over to kiss Bo, murmuring, “You look gorgeous.”

“Don’t look at me,” Bo said impatiently and waved both his hands in our direction. “Look at them,” he whispered. “They look like girls, all of them.” He beamed at us. “Pretty,” he said with great satisfaction.

Mac stared at us without saying a word, although a grin spread on his face as he approached slowly to look at his girlfriend.

“Well, fuck me,” he said, finally.

“Maybe later,” Wilder snapped, trying to cover her embarrassment. “I look weird,” she added, sounding uncharacteristically unsure of herself.

The black, very short, leather and lace dress showed off her fantastic legs and made her look totally biker-cool, but the bouncy curls pulled back from her face with a clip softened the overall impression. Her bright red lipstick was sexy, even to me.

“If you mean weird in a way that means we won’t be staying very long at Johns tonight and you’ll probably have to break a few hands because they’ve been on your butt, then yeah. You look weird,” Mac said. “If you meant something else, then no. Not weird at all.” He leaned in, caressed her cheek gently, and added quietly, “You’re beautiful, honey.”

Kit walked in from the back porch and turned to lock the door, saying, “Mrs. Pearson’s got the girls under control, Mary. They’re slee –”

His eyes had hit Wilder, and he froze.

“Holy cow, you’re gorgeous,” he blurted out. His eyes flew to Mac, and then back to Wilder. “I mean, sorry. But you look… Wow.”

Wilder started grinning, and Kit did too.

“Let’s eat. The others are at Johns already,” Carson said.

Kit caught sight of me as we moved toward the trays his father had prepared, and I smiled at him. His brows went up high on his forehead, but then his lips moved into a sly grin.

“I think tonight will be one of the greatest nights in a long, long time,” he said. “Maybe even in my entire life.”

“Why’s that?” I said casually and picked up a small piece of what looked like chicken with some kind of veggie on a toothpick.

“Olly,” he said.

“Olly, what?”

“Calmest guy I know,” he snickered. “Don’t think he’ll be so calm tonight. It’ll be fun seeing him rattled.”

I wasn’t so sure Olly would react to my appearance the way they all seemed to think. He’d been angry when he left that morning, and I’d sent a pretty sour message to him with his bird, so he might not even show up. I hoped he would, though. I loved looking the way I did right then but I knew I’d never find the energy to keep the appearance up and I’d be back to the regular Annie when the night was over.
