Rick, Dawn, and Powell laughed all the way back to Tuscaloosa. While Rick and Dawn had been meeting with Mule, Powell had won the annual Crawfish Eating contest, and for his victory he had been given the Crawfish Cup, a huge bowl of a trophy that had a picture of a crawfish emblazoned on the side of it. Since the contest, Powell had delighted in filling the cup with beer and drinking from it, which he was doing now in the backseat of the Saturn.

“All right, Delta Dawn, your turn,” Powell said, handing her the full cup.

“Powell, I’ve had enough. And would you please stop calling me that.”

Of course her protests just led Rick and Powell to serenade her with “Delta Dawn” for the tenth time since she’d said she hated the song because her ex-husband used to sing it to her all the time.

“All right! Enough!” Dawn took the cup from Powell and turned it up. Spilling a little bit down her chin, Dawn finished and handed the cup back to Powell. “There, happy?” she asked, smiling.

Powell made a mock-serious face. “Ms. Dawn, it gives my heart great joy to see you drink from my trophy.”

Dawn shook her head and started to say something, but Powell began singing again, and Rick couldn’t stop himself from joining in. As Powell’s voice rose higher than Rick’s, Dawn covered her ears, and Rick’s entire body tingled with happiness.

Good times, he thought.
