CHAPTER 15

EVIE

“Stop moving or you’re going to get burned,” Wendy warns me as she winds my hair around the curling iron. It’s so close to the side of my face, I can feel the heat it’s giving off.

“I’m sorry. I’m nervous about going to this banquet. I’ve been dreading this night since I agreed to go. Why am I such a pushover?”

She winds another chunk of my hair around the iron. “You’re not a pushover. You’re doing something to please your mom. There’s nothing wrong with that. I’m sure Tillie will do the same when she’s your age.”

“I hope she doesn’t have to.” I sigh. “Thank you for being here and helping me get ready.”

“Well, I didn’t really have a choice. You can’t go to a formal function with your hair in a messy knot on top of your head.”

I laugh. “It’s hilarious that’s the reason you’re here. But you’re right. I would’ve thrown it up without a care for how it looked.”

“Yep. At least your hair will look fabulous while your face looks miserable.” She snickers.

“I’m banking on being able to leave early. As soon as my dad gets his award I’m out of there.”

“I’ll be here with Tillie waiting for you to get back.”

“Thank you for staying with her,” I say. “She’s excited.”

“I’m excited too. I can’t believe I talked my brother into going out tonight. Maybe with you in a relationship he’s realizing he needs to get out there and meet people.”

“I’m glad he’s going out too. He worries about Tillie and me too much. It’s time for him to focus on himself too. There’s no reason we can’t work out a schedule that allows him to get out at night.”

“Aww, how cute. You can make a relationship calendar for tracking your date nights,” she teases.

“Hey, we’ll do whatever’s needed. I want Ryan to be happy.”

“I love how much you still love my brother.”

“You two are my best friends.”

She nudges my arm. “But I have the edge on him, right? You can tell me.”

“He’s the father of my child,” I say.

“So, you’re saying he’s caused you a lot of stress?”

I laugh. “He’s not solely to blame for Tillie’s conception. And stressful or not, I wouldn’t change a thing about my life. I’m damn lucky.”

“Look at you being all grateful and positive. It’s nice to see.”

“Darius is a good influence on me.”

“I guess so. When do I get to meet him?”

“I’m hoping sometime tomorrow.”

“I’m looking forward to it.” She places the sizzling-hot iron down on the bathroom counter, then her hands fly around my head as she twists and pins locks of my hair. I’m curious to see what she’s done, but she has my back facing the mirror. I’m not allowed to see until I’m completely dressed, but I trust her enough to know it’ll look appropriate for a formal event.

She sprays half a can of hairspray on my hair and I choke on the fumes.

“Don’t be a baby,” she scolds me.

“A little warning would’ve been nice. I could’ve covered my face with my hands.
