When Will arrived homethat evening, his head was pounding. He wanted to fall into bed and forget about his awful day.
His phone pinged; he growled, contemplating ignoring it.
“Have you listened to the latest episode of the Val Myers Podcast?” Marissa texted.
“No,” he texted back. Val Myers had the most popular political podcast in the country; millions of listeners tuned in every day.
“Liv is on it,” Marissa said.
You’ve got to be kidding me.
He opened his phone and searched for the podcast. Before he could start it, his phone started buzzing like crazy from incoming messages.
Shit!
After he silenced his notifications, he went to the fridge and grabbed a beer, and then he grabbed another one.
Not how I wanted to spend the evening. She’s obviously trying to kill me.
He plopped down on the sofa, popped open a beer, took a long sip, and then started the podcast.
Val: Today’s guest is up-and-coming activist Liv Dalton. You’ve probably seen her NokNoks. Welcome to the show, Liv.
Liv: Thanks for having me.
Val: You seem pretty mad at Senator William Sterling.
Liv: (laughing) He’s in my way.
Val: How so?
Liv: He is one of these establishment politicians who gets into office and forgets that there are real people with real needs throughout the country.
Val: Hmm...
Liv: This Clean Water Bill will impact millions of people who desperately need the government to step in and protect them.
Val: But Senator Sterling supports this bill.
Liv: Does he?
Val: He says he does. He says he wants a vote.
Liv: Why hasn’t he made it happen?
Val: They don’t have the votes.
Liv: He doesn’t seem to be doing anything to change that.
Val: It’s an uphill battle.
Liv: If he wasn’t up for the challenge maybe he should have stayed out of politics. He doesn’t need to work. We all know that the Sterlings have enormous amounts of money. He should go off and date some supermodel - maybe vacation on a private yacht in the Mediterranean.
Val: (laughing) I suppose he could if he wanted...
Liv: I’m so tired of politicians who have lost touch. I think we need to primary William Sterling.
Val: What?
