“Did you hear what I just said?” Roxy emphatically asked.

It was just after seven in the morning and she’d ambushed Terri with a surprise video chat. Terri was one of the few people in the world to ever see the woman with her head wrapped, wearing glasses, and without a full face. She actually looked ten years younger in her natural state.

Terri groaned and rubbed sleep from her eyes as she sat up, “I heard you.”

“Six-hundred-and-fifty thousand signatures, T. All for you.”

“Great,” Terri responded, with way too much sarcasm.

Somebodies, apparently 650,000 of them, had decided to get together and petition Terri’s return to the Vivacious Vixen’s reality show.

Roxy sighed, “Terri, it’s not ideal, but a show like that could change the whole trajectory of your career, sis.”

“What career, Roxy?” Terri snapped. “It’s over. How many different times do I have to tell you that? I’m through. I’m done. And I’m certainly not interested in going back into that three-ring circus when I’m living in my own, right here in this tiny ass town.”

Terri had never raised her voice to Roxy before, but dammit, the woman wasn’t listening. Terri needed Roxy to finally hear her and stop pitching acting opportunities at her.

“It’s too early for this, Roxy,” she said, her voice cracking. “I can’t—”

“Terri? What’s wrong? What happened?”

Terri closed her eyes and shook her head. She didn’t want to talk about it, but she desperately needed to talk about it.

“I slept with Luther,” she blurted out.

Roxy’s eyes darted back and forth. “Luther? Luther who?”

“Nick’s father,” Terri snapped. “The man I’m seeing… I slept with his goddamned father, Roxy.”

Tears escaped down her cheeks and the reality of what happened between the two of them came rushing back to her.

“Fuck!” Terri exclaimed. “Who does that? I mean, I’m all for a woman’s right to explore her sexuality. I should be able to have sex with whoever I choose to have sex with because I’m not married. I’m not even Nick’s girlfriend, but his father?” She grimaced. “Seriously? Who the fuck does that?”

“Whoa,” was the best Roxy could do, her eyes glazed over and fixed on Terri, coming apart.

“This is reality TV drama. It’s a soap opera. It’s humiliating and a small ass town and it wouldn’t surprise me one bit if half the people here didn’t already know about it.”

Roxy finally spoke up after a long pause, “What are you going to do?”

Terri sniffed and wiped away tears. “Duh—I have to stop seeing Nick. Stay as far away from Luther as I can and go back to minding my own, damned business.”

“What kind of man is this Luther to do something like that to his son?”

“He didn’t do it by himself, Rox,” Terri admonished. “I kissed him first.”

“You kissed him? Terri—why?” Roxy probed.

“You think I haven’t been banging my head against the wall asking myself the same thing?” Terri asked, frustrated. “I’d heard about women slipping and accidentally falling on dicks, but I never expected to be one of them.”

“It wasn’t an accident,” Roxy stated, simply.
