CHAPTER FOURTEEN

Athena was in the clubhouse kitchen, helping Aunt Sage, Aunt Willa, and LaDonna, one of the sweetbutts, assemble approximately four billion pounds of lasagna for dinner. It looked like the lockdown would continue into a third day, and people were getting crabby. They were cooped up, and a lot of people, Athena included, were missing work with this thing.

The old ladies had decided everybody needed comfort food. Kelsey and Aunt Jenny had made cupcakes earlier, for dessert tonight. Duncan had raided the convenience shop for ice cream and candy for the kids. Now lasagna was on the dinner menu.

Somebody—usually Aunt Marcella or Aunt Jenny—had been getting reasonably regular updates from Nevada, so they understood that the club, and Aunt Deb and Aunt Leah, had arrived safely. They knew that Uncle Gun was still in a coma and the prognosis wasn’t great so far. At minimum, it looked like he’d never walk again. Monty had gotten off fairly lightly, with a concussion and a gash on his head. Nevada had lost one man and had a couple others injured.

They also knew that Sam had been shot and almost died, but that he’d pulled through and was doing pretty well, considering.

However, Sam had not called yet. Dad had called Mom and talked to them both a couple times. Dex had called Kelsey about a hundred times; Kelsey was seven months pregnant, and he was extra worried about being away. Uncle Mav called often. Uncle Eight called Marcella. Uncle Caleb had called Aunt Ciss. And so on. All the old ladies were either with their men or getting updates from them.

But she needed to see him, to know he really was okay. She wanted to talk to him, too, he always helped her sort through her thoughts and feelings when she had something major going on, and he was the only person in the world she wanted to talk about this pregnancy bullshit with.

But the stuff going on with her wasn’t nearly as important as the stuff going on with him. Maybe she wouldn’t tell him her stuff at all. Her mom knew and was helping. Sam wasn’t in the right place to be worrying about her, or getting angrier at Hunter than he already was. She was angry enough for the whole world, anyway.

Her mom had laid out three different strategies for getting revenge on Hunter. Mom preferred to call it ‘justice,’ and that was fine, but Athena needed to think of it as revenge. Her anger was pure and motivating, and she didn’t want to set it aside and pretend she was after some moral result. No, that piece of used
