“If you really want to lose weight, darlin’, smoking weed isn’t gonna do it,” said the man she’d been getting her marijuana from.

Nadine frowned. “Well, no shit, I know that now.”

“Weed’ll make you feel good, and you won’t give a shit what your old man says, but if you really want to win him back, you’re gonna have to lose that baby weight.”

She scowled harder. “Fuck you. What else do you have for me then?”

The dealer just laughed as he reached into his pocket. “You’re hot, Nadine. But you could be so much hotter. Here, this one’s on the house.”

Nadine looked at the small blue-white rock in his palm. “What is it?”

“Ice.”

She had no idea what that was, but she didn’t want to look stupid. “Oh.”

The dealer rolled his eyes. “I’ve got some time. I’ll show you how it’s done.”

Nadine hesitated. She only had two hours before she had to meet Stevie at the bus stop. She’d never not been there when he got home, and she didn’t want to start now. He was the best thing that had ever happened to her.

And Preston…

He was definitely fucking around on her. But she wasn’t ready to let him go. Wasn’t that why she’d started smoking pot in the first place? To try to lose weight so he’d be attracted to her again? If this ice stuff could do what the weed obviously hadn’t, then she could get her husband back and they could all be a happy family again.

“Okay,” she agreed.

She watched carefully as the dealer put the chunk into a small glass pipe, then used a lighter to heat it up. She saw the rock slowly melt into a liquid. He turned and smiled at her, then concentrated on what he was doing. Once the drug started to solidify again, he handed her the pipe.

She looked at him in confusion.

“I’m gonna heat it up again. Once it begins to smoke, inhale slowly. Don’t hold it in, exhale immediately.”

“That’s it?”

“That’s it.”

The second the smoke built up in the pipe, she sucked it into her lungs. She didn’t feel anything. Turning to the dealer, she shrugged.

He laughed. “It takes a few minutes. Here, take another hit.”

She did.

Ten minutes later, Nadine felt a euphoria like she’d never felt before. It was beautiful. She felt as if she could take on the world. She had more energy than she’d had in a long time.

“Feels good, doesn’t it?” the dealer said, running his hand up and down her arm in a slow caress.

“Yeah,” Nadine said, nodding and grinning like a fool.

“Trust me, you’re gonna love this. You aren’t gonna feel like eating, which is where the weight loss comes in. You’ll have the energy to clean your house ten times over, so your old man’ll have nothing to complain about when he gets home.”

“Awesome,” Nadine said.

“Now…that one was free, but how about showing me some gratitude?”

“What? How?” She should’ve been alarmed, but at that moment, she felt too good to worry about anything.

“Just a kiss, baby.
