Legs kicked up on the railing of the verandah, I winced when my younger brother, Daniel, offered me a nip of his moonshine. “Hard pass. I’d like to keep my organs intact, thank you.”

Daniel shrugged. “More for me. This shit is good. I made it myself.”

“And that’s exactly why I’m not drinking it.”

I stared out at the fireflies dotting the lawn and sighed. I hadn’t seen Sonnie in too many days. Not a second went by she wasn’t forefront on my mind.

“What’s on your mind, bro?”

“No one.” I shook my head. “I mean nothing.”

“I know that’s not true. You’ve got that constipated look, which always means you’re arguing with yourself.”

“I don’t have a constipated look. Don’t you have something productive you should be doing?”

“Nope. I’m on vacation. My mission, as I see it, is to sit here, get drunk, and bug the shit outta you.”

“Mission accomplished.”

I’d been torn up, thinking about Sonnie being hurt. Thinking about how hard it would be on me to be an ocean away from her if it was this hard just being across town from her.

“What are you thinking about?”

I gave Daniel an exasperated look. “Are you serious? How does anyone think around you?”

“Were you always this testy? Testes? Testicle-testicular?” He took another swig of his moonshine and grinned. “You sure you don’t want some of this? It’s pretty fucking good.”

Before I could respond, the sound of tires screeching got my attention and I looked down Charlie’s driveway to see her car speeding towards the house. “Shit.”

“What the hell’s going on? She looks madder’n hell.” Daniel got up and scooted past me to get to the front door. “She’s got Mama Jean with her, too. If this is you, I feel sorry for you, bro.”

“I don’t think I did anything.” Charlie threw her door open and got out pointing at me. “Fuck.”

“You!” She jabbed her finger in my direction again. “You yellow-bellied, low down, piece of pond scum! What the hell is wrong with you? First of all, you sleep with my best friend.”

I stood up.

“Second of all, you crush her.”

I sat back down.

“Third of all, you knock her up!”

“Wh—What?”

Mama climbed the porch steps, shaking her head at me. She looked disappointed. “Yes. Pregnant and devastated, poor girl. What have you done, Holton?”

“P-Pregnant?”

“You. Knocked. Up. My. Best. Friend. Asswipe.” Charlie slapped the side of my head and then did it again. “I am so pissed. I want to knock the shit out of you, but Mama is watching, so I’ll just tell you this. You need to make this right, and if you cause Sonnie any more pain than you already have, I’ll have Daniel neuter you. With the hedge clippers.”

I stood up but Charlie put her hand on my chest and shoved me back down. I was about done, though. And stunned stupid. Not only that my mate was pregnant, but that my mother and sister were the ones to give me the news instead of Sonnie. In her mind, I was guessing, I had all but abandoned her.
