much room
for being kind.”
    “Being kind is highly overrated.” I reassured
her, pulling my feet underneath me.
    “Get your feet off the couch,” she scolded
me.
    I obliged as she puttered into the kitchen,
leaning over the back of the couch. “What are you doing?” I
asked.
    “Getting you wine. And a cookie for myself.”
She answered.
    “Why do I need wine?” I asked
suspiciously.
    She came in with a full glass. Looking
directly into my eyes, she held my gaze for a long moment. “I need
you to be my maid of honor.” I should have seen that one
coming.
    Forcing down the groan that wanted to break
out of my throat, I took a long sip of wine instead. “You do
realize I have no idea what those duties include?”
    “I do.” With a sigh, she took a bite of her
cookie.
    “What I really need Olie, is someone to help
me.” She took another bite of her cookie.
    “I guess I am back in town for awhile then.”
I drained the wine in my glass.
    “Don’t sound so enthused.” She stated,
refilling my glass.
    “It’s not that. I just don’t think this thing
in Oklahoma is finished yet.” I took another long sip as memories I
was trying to repress flashed in front of my eyes.
    “We have 6 weeks until the wedding, I am
certain if you need to run off for a few days everything will be
fine.” Kass munched on her cookie.
    I shrugged. “I guess we will find out. What
is the first of my maid of honor duties?”
    “We need to find you a dress.”
    “We need Jerry for that.” I kicked my feet
back on the coffee table.
    “Seriously? Were you raised in a barn?” she
pushed my feet off.
    I shrugged. No, I was raised in a lab.
    Sensing my mood shift, she shook her head.
“Sorry.”
    “No worries, I’m going to call Jerry.” I
pulled my phone out, dialing him.
    “Well if it ain’t the long lost succubus!” he
greeted me.
    “Hey Jerry. You busy?” I asked, taking
another sip of wine.
    “I am at the moment, but I can make time for
you.” He purred.
    Rolling my eyes, I informed him, “I need a
maid of honor dress.”
    “Oh, good, lord. When did this happen?” he
asked shocked.
    “Two glasses of wine ago,” I informed him,
gulping down the rest of my wine.
    “Honey, that hardly seems like enough for
you,” he informed me.
    “Yeah, well, what can I say. When are you
available?” I asked as someone yelled for Jerry in the
background.
    “Tomorrow one p.m.” he stated briskly. “I’ll
pick you two up at the manor.”
    “See you tomorrow,” I said.
    “I think he hung up on me,” I stated, looking
at my phone.
    Kass laughed, “You can’t blame him. Things
with the local police have really picked up for him. They are even
using his talents on human cold cases.”
    I shrugged, “That’s good. How are he and
Mark?” I asked about Jerry’s boyfriend and right hand man to
Darren.
    “Sickeningly adorable,” she said rolling her
own eyes.
    “Give me all the juicy details I have
missed,” I told her smiling.
    Kass and I spent the rest of the afternoon
and evening catching up as she showed me picture after picture
online of what she envisioned the wedding to look like.
    “It all depends on the venue really, Darren
and I are going this weekend to make a final decision, but I have
my heart set on The Gardens,” she said, settling back against the
couch.
    “They all are beautiful, but I agree that is
by far the best.” I said, stretching with a yawn and checking my
watch.
    “Crap! I need to get going. I want to check
on Kitten tonight,” I said, standing up. “Thanks for the wine, and
I’ll see you tomorrow.”
    She laughed, “Tomorrow.” She confirmed
walking me out.
...
    Kitten was running smoothly in my absence. No
surprise there. I wasn’t a person who could be depended upon to
react quickly with frequent changes happening constantly.
    Slouching in Rose’s office chair, she watched
me from the corner of her eyes as she typed on the computer
reminding me of Grams.
    “So, you are here why
