Chapter Fourteen

The entire room went so quiet that Allie’s ears ached. Did that hussy just say she was Blake’s wife? Allie whipped around and stared at him.

“Ex,” Blake said quickly.

A loud rap on the door frame took everyone’s attention in that direction. Katy Logan stepped inside without waiting to be invited. “Have you seen…oh, there you are, Mama. It’s time to go home now. What the…” Katy’s eyes came close to popping out of the sockets when she saw Allie.

“It’s a long story,” Allie said. “Come on, Granny. I think it’s time for us to go home.”

Irene sat down in the rocking chair. “Why? I like this party. It’s exciting. When are they bringing out the birthday cake and ice cream? I want cake.”

“We’ve got chocolate cake waiting for us at home. I’ll get my boots and I’ll see to it your robe gets brought home tomorrow,” Allie said coldly without even looking at Blake.

“Allie, let me explain,” he said.

Her shoulder bumped his as she stomped toward the bathroom to get her boots, but she didn’t look back. “Enjoy your booty call. I’ll get my boots and get out of your way.”

“Is this your new girlfriend?” Scarlett asked above the argument still going on between Bobby Ray and Nadine.

“That is none of your business. All of you need to leave,” Blake yelled above the din.

“Well, Walter, don’t go screamin’ at me like that. You invited me for cake and ice cream. I didn’t bring all these other fools. It’s not my fault,” Irene huffed.

Allie marched back up the hall in boots that were unlaced, took her grandmother’s hand, and helped her up out of the rocking chair. “Come on, Granny. We’ll have cake and ice cream and you can even blow out the candles.”

“Is it my birthday?”

“Not yet, but we’ll practice for when it is,” Allie said.
