“Got a cal from Shirleen. Rumor has it, Ray’s hittin’ her table tonight.”
I looked up at Indy, Tod and Lottie and my eyes grew wide.
“You girls ready to ride again?” I heard Daisy say in my ear.
“Just a second. Indy’s right here, let me ask.” I relayed the story to everyone. Indy and Tod smiled, Lottie looked angry.
“Dad’s a shithead,” Lottie said.
“You guys in?” I asked.
Tod and Lottie nodded.
“Al y’s got a shift at Brother’s tonight but I’m in,” Indy replied.
Al y was a bartender at My Brother’s Bar. It’d be a bummer that she couldn’t come but I figured with Lottie and Tod in the mix, we could almost equal her attitude.
“Al y’s working but Tod wants to come and so does my sister, is that okay?” I told Daisy.
“Peachy, darlin’. Can’t wait to meet your sister,” Daisy answered.
“You might know her, she’s Lottie Mac, Queen of the Corvette Calendar.”
“No shit? ‘Course I know her, Sugar, she’s a celebrity.” I grinned at my sister.
“Yeah,” I said, feeling proud.
Then I hesitated.
“Do you mind if we wear our own clothes?” I asked.
More of the giggle.
“Sure, just as long as you got a little sparkle on.” I figured I could do a little sparkle.
“Tel her we’l meet here,” Tod cut in.
“Tod says to meet at his place.” I gave her directions, signed off and flipped my phone shut.
“You ready for this?” I asked Lottie.
“Ready to kick Dad’s ass? Fuck yeah,” Lottie replied.
I rol ed my eyes.
Indy and Tod grinned at each other.
Guess Lottie had the seal of approval.
My phone rang again.
It said, “Eddie cal ing.”
“Uh-oh,” I muttered when I saw it.
“Eddie?” Indy asked immediately.
“Is that your new boyfriend?” Lottie asked.
