Page 414 of K.I.N.: Karma Is Near

“Why y’all sitting here looking like somebody died?”

Neither laughed.

I pulled the chair out.

“Damn. Tough crowd.”

“Hey,” Avery said.

Heather gave me a small smile. “Hey.”

I sat down and put my purse beside me.

“What?”

“Nothing,” Heather said.

“No. Something. Y’all called me here looking like somebody just read a will and left both of y’all out.”

Avery looked down.

Heather looked at Avery.

I looked between both of them.

“What the fuck?”

A server came over before either one could answer.

“Hi. Can I get you started with something to drink?”

“Coffee. Please. Lots of cream, two sugars.”

“Of course. And are you ready to order?”

I picked up the menu.

“Give me a second.”

“No rush.”

She walked away.

I opened the menu.

Neither bitch moved.

I slowly lowered it.

“Why are y’all staring at me?”

Heather sighed.

I looked at her.

“What happened?”

“Nothing happened.”
