CHAPTER FIFTEEN

“Back here, Pammy!” Ella yelled. “The kitchen! In the rear of the house!”

Loud footsteps clomped down the hall, and Pammy burst into the room. “My date’s with the mayor of Charleston, and he’s hot. Hotter than Hank. Not that I think Hank is hot. He’s my cousin. Gross.” She flipped the bird at him.

“Nice,” Hank murmured.

“The mayor?” Miss Thing’s voice went up an octave. “Reginald?”

“Yeah, he’s so cute,” said Pammy. “I love that gap in his teeth that makes him whistle his S’s. And he’s got hair like a monk. I call him Reggie. I think he wants to jump my bones too. But I’m not ready. I mean, I don’t have the right underwear.”

“Stop talking, Pammy,” Hank said. “I don’t want to hear this.”

“Get over it, Hank,” Pammy said. “I have to see your naked butt on a large screen at the movies. Right? You owe me, cuz. Samantha, scoot over. I want a cookie.”

Samantha scooted over, almost onto Hank’s lap. So he scooted over, almost onto Ella’s. She liked it. She couldn’t lie. Their thighs were squeezed so tightly together, she could barely breathe from the delicious tingling feeling that overwhelmed her. And then it got worse when her side touched his. Not just touching, smashed up against.

Hank was hot. Hank was next to her. Dear God, why? Why was she being tortured? What had she ever done so wrong that she had to endure having such tempting, wicked thoughts about the only single guy in the world who was off-limits to her?

Miss Thing poured Pammy a cup of tea, and Pammy grabbed the now-vacant spot on the bench and then a cookie.

“This is really exciting news, Pammy,” Ella said, “and I want to talk about it, but first—”

“He’s forty-one, practically an old man.” Pammy paused. “Sorry, Samantha. I mean, you’re not forty-one yet. At least according to the tabloids.”

“No apology needed,” Samantha said with spirit. Okay, it was with a somewhat dampened spirit, but still. She was being pretty nice about Pammy’s stark observation about her age and the sly implication that maybe the tabloids didn’t have the real facts—maybe Samantha was even older, in other words.

Hank glared at Pammy over Samantha’s head, but she ignored him.

“Uh, this all sounds fascinating,” said Ella, “but we really need to move on to Roberta and an idea we have for her. Pammy, you want to stay?”

“No can do,” Pammy said, reaching over Samantha for another cookie. “I’m off to Victoria’s Secret.”

“Try Bits of Lace,” Roberta told her. “That’s everyone’s favorite lingerie shop around here.”

“Great advice,” Pammy said. “I’ll be a local for real, prancing around in my sexy new underwear from a Charleston boutique.”

Samantha, Ella noticed, sat completely still as Pammy clambered off the bench. At one point a lock of Samantha’s beautiful chignon flew up in the air where Pammy’s watchband accidentally caught it. But then she lifted her teacup to her mouth, seemingly recovered.

Ella breathed a sigh of relief.

Hank blew his cousin a kiss. He was
