She blinked, and added with a small smile, “You were married for twenty years, so I doubt that’s entirely true.” When I kept staring at her, she said softly, “Tell me.”
So, I did. I told her about the weight I’d lost, and my weekend with Marianne and the barracudas. About the stupid shots. And what I’d heard outside the restrooms.
Her eyes widened as I spoke, and by the time I finished, her mouth had fallen open. Our eyes held and there was kindness in hers, but slowly it was replaced by… mirth?
Then she started laughing.
I glared at her.
“I know, Lee, but it’s not you anymore, and you have to admit that it was kind of funny?” She laughed some more and added, “Grandma Myrtle!”
Suddenly what had seemed so insulting and hurtful wasn’t such a big deal. I’d had helmet-hair, no makeup and layers of ski-clothes which were a couple of sizes too small. The description had probably been quite apt.
She raised her glass and slowly I did the same with mine.
“To the death of Grandma Myrtle!” she called out, and I started laughing.
We downed the shots, and I shuddered a little as the alcohol burned its way down my throat and warmed my belly.
“God,” I said. “Which one was it?”
She turned her head toward the door and murmured absentmindedly, “Which one was what?”
“The smoking hot guy with the muscles who called me Myrtle,” I said, with a rueful grin. “I don’t want to meet any of them, but I especially never, ever want to lay my eyes on that dude again.”
She started laughing and turned back to me.
“That was Gibson. And he just walked through the door.”

Gibson is available where you usually pick up ebooks. Note, though, that Gib is a different man than Brody and the book is slightly edgier. Or, yeah. There’s more sex and some kink in that one. You have been warned :)
