“Hi, Hairy Tits!” Effie sang through the phone.
April loved how happy and carefree her friend sounded. For so long, everything had been a struggle for Effie. But now, she and her nephew Brooks had the best lives. They didn’t have to worry about anything. Even if Effie’s new men weren’t exactly on the right side of the law, they took excellent care of her. They loved her. And that was all April cared about.
“Hey, Droopy Bum,” she replied cheerfully.
“What happened? What’s wrong?” Effie asked immediately.
“What makes you think something is wrong?” April asked.
“I can hear it in your voice. Spill.”
April let out a deep breath. “Okay, but don’t freak out.” She told her best friend everything that happened yesterday.
“He held you up at gunpoint? Oh my God!” Effie cried.
“Spitfire? What’s wrong?”
April heard Damon’s voice in the background.
Effie told him what had happened to April yesterday, her voice filled with worry.
“April? Are you still there?” Damon asked in his deep voice.
“Um, yep. Hey, Damon. How are you?”
“This man has been apprehended?” he asked.
Obviously, he wasn’t in the mood for chitchat.
“Yes. He’s in police custody.”
“Do you have a name?” he asked.
“Uh, no.” What was with all the questions?
“Is Trent there?” he asked.
“He’s making me French toast.”
“Can I speak to him, honey?” Damon was trying to keep his voice soft, she could tell. But it was still clear he expected obedience.
Jumping up, she nearly tripped over her blanket as she rushed into the kitchen.
Trent turned, worry filling his face. “What is it? What’s wrong?”
“Damon,” she said, holding out the phone.
His eyebrows rose as he took the phone, muting it for a moment. “You called Effie?”
She winced. “Yes. Shouldn’t I have?”
“Of course you should have. But I wish you’d warned me.” He unmuted the phone and stepped away as he spoke quietly into the phone.
She shifted her weight from foot to foot until he returned and held out the phone to her. “Effie wants to talk to you again.”
“Is everything okay?” she asked.
“Of course, baby. Damon just wanted to make sure that asshole is going to pay for what happened to you.”
