Chapter 13

Hush, Hush, Sweet Boots

That was it; she was done with Jolie’s Joy Juice. Drea groaned to herself when four thirty came around way too quickly the next morning and Aunt Joyce was as chipper as a newborn baby bird. Her voice calling her to wake up, get a move on, and the pies don’t wait for nobody crackled through the air.

Had it really been her idea to pull the Suit out on the dance floor the night before? How was she supposed to know that the guy was a freaking two-step master? Out there shimmying like he was Luke Bryan, or a K-pop boy group member gone country. Drea saw her reflection in the mirror and shook her head at her sorry state. Eyes red and puffy, skin blotchy from too much to drink, she let out a sigh and patted at her cheeks with a splash of cold water, hoping to revive the tired skin. With her luck, the dancing machine would probably be at Goode ’N Sweet right at the crack of 6:47 looking pressed to perfection, waiting and ready for his morning coffee.

“Come on, turtle, let’s go. I came up with the most fantastic idea for a new pie combo last night. ‘Shake-It-Till-You-Make-It Chocolate Caramel Peach Turtle Delight.’”

Drea gave Liv a sneer. The turtle part added to the name of the pie she knew was a direct comment on their little foursome last night. She was so stunned at seeing how the Suit had transformed once he got on the dance floor that for a moment she was struck positively stock-still. She was supposed to be the one with the dance training. But still, he had good moves. Just thinking about it gave her a shiver. Drea was shocked by his quick feet and smooth hips. When he turned to her after a particularly tricky cha-cha and gave her an unexpected roguish wink, Drea’s jaw positively dropped to the floor.

Thank goodness the nudge from Liv pulled her out of her stupor. “Okay, turtle, time to come out of your shell and get to dancing. And you’re not going to let the Suit show you up, now are you?” It was then that she finally started to have a good time. For the first time in Sugar Lake, Drea had let her hair down and really let go with the person she’d least expected.

But all too quickly, the fun and the easiness of the night had ended. With the change of beats, along with the change of songs, the line dance was over and all of a sudden folks were coupling all two by two on the dance floor. Drea and Kellen were staring at each other in awkward silence. Why did the DJ choose then to head back to a 70s smooth Barry White tune? The song was all bass, from the guitar to the percussions to his deep melodic voice, and that coupled with the Suit’s light eyes was nothing but a recipe for disaster.

Drea shrugged and nodded toward the door.
