the hell were you last night?” Shane asked.
“Somewhere sane,” Alex snapped back. “I came for the dedication, not to be on the planning committee. By the way, Mom just called one of her neighbors a whore.”
Shane winced. “Who? Sophie?”
Alex was apparently the only one not in on this joke. “Yes, Sophie. You know who she is?”
“Sure. Everyone knows. I mean...most people don’t care, but you know how it is here. Small town. Long memories.”
“Yeah. I’m sure it doesn’t help anything that the woman down the street treats Sophie like crap.”
His mom brushed past him and Shane. “She should know better than to show her face around me.”
He followed her inside, his surprise and outrage hardening into true anger. “Are you kidding me? She was standing in her own yard! And she seems like a perfectly nice woman.”
“Ha. Until you find out who she really is.”
Alex couldn’t believe this. “This can’t be all about her mother. Sophie was a kid when that happened. Even younger than Shane and I were. What the hell is wrong with you?”
“She’s the one who moved onto my street and threw the past in my face like the hussy she is. Do you know how much it hurts to see her every day? With that red hair just like her mama? And now she’s putting the moves on my son? No, sir. I won’t stand for it.”
“Putting the moves on me? Are you kidding me? We were having a conversation in her garden.”
“You can’t fool me. I saw the way you were looking at her. She’s just like her mother and apparently you’re no different than your father!”
Alex laughed instead of yelling what he really wanted to yell. “Am I supposed to be sorry about that? You’re the one who made him into a saint.”
“He was a saint compared to that home wrecker who lured him away!”
