Chapter 44: Leave Cookies By the Door

"Have you spoken to Carter this week?" Elizabeth was perched on the bar, sipping her craft beer.

There were only a couple of people left, the majority left for the holidays, while the rest worked several shifts in a row.

"Try 'this month,’ and the answer will still remain negative." Selene sighed into her drink, regretting her previous decision to go light on whiskey.

"D*mn," Liz shook her head, clearly frustrated. "Me neither. He's being an idiot. Again."

"He's just busy."

"How cute," Liz smiled at the bartender, batting her eyelashes in exaggeration.

"What?"

"You. Defending him."

"Cause it's true?"

"Still cute."

Now Selene simply had to roll her eyes at her friend, knowing perfectly well that Elizabeth would defend Carter no matter what. After all, they had a long history to prove that.
