A Plot Twist

Clay was on his way to the Hallmark store, hoping to surprise Britney with some takeout from MiZuppa, a small soup bar and bakery chain that made the absolute best homemade soup in the entire ski-resort area. Not to mention Denver. He’d ordered chicken ‘n’ dumplings for Britney and Indian mulligatawny for himself. But when he saw Evangeline Benson nearly speeding on the icy roads and headed toward the Gold Rush Tavern (talking on a cell phone, no less) he knew trouble was brewing and in a big way. He slowed his Jeep down, made an illegal U-turn, and then followed behind her. By the time he’d made it into the parking lot of the tavern, she was pulling the door open and stepping inside.

A sick feeling hit him in the pit of his stomach. He sat for a minute, trying to decide whether to go in or let it go. After all, it was none of his business. But, he thought, very little about the Potluck Club is my business.

Somehow he always managed to make it so.

He waited five minutes, then slipped out of his Jeep and quietly into the tavern. He scanned the room but could see neither Evangeline nor Dee Dee McGurk, who he assumed she’d come to see.

He’d known about Donna’s mother’s and Evangeline’s feud since he was a boy. His mother had told him it was the stuff legends were made of. But this... this “legend” might hurt Donna in the long run. And that he didn’t think he could stand. After all and no matter what, Donna was and always would be his good friend.

He took a seat in a dark corner and waited for several minutes. If his guess was correct, Evangeline was going at it nose-to-nose with Dee Dee in a back room somewhere. He pulled out his leatherbound notepad and began to hen scratch some notes. After a few minutes more of that, his face broke in a grin.

Yeah, Donna was his friend, but a good plot twist was still a good plot twist.
