“That’s what I thought,” I mutter.

“Tinsley, wait! I need—”

Pulling my phone away from my ear mid-yell, I finally hang up on my father, not at all interested in what else he has to say or what else he thinks he needs from me. Especially when he calls me out of the blue after all this time, with nothing but criticism and demands.

Quickly pulling up the music app on my phone, I click on one of my playlists, then grab the small Bluetooth speaker on the island, and hit the Power button. Turning the volume up as loud as it will go as the first song starts to play, I close my eyes and take a couple of deep breaths. I let the angry-chick music flow through me and fuel my fire, so I can get this bad mood out of my system before Ryan gets home.

Waiting for the timer to go off on the oven, I move around the kitchen, singing at the top of my lungs to “abcdefu” by Gayle, while I finish setting our places at the island.

After a few songs from myAngry as Hellplaylist, I’ve pushed the conversation with my father out of my head, and the good mood I was in before I answered my phone returns. I’ve got some flirting to try with a sweet, wonderful man, who is nothing like my hurtful, dishonest family, and that’s all I want to think about right now.

Dancing around the kitchen as I wait for the lasagna to finish and for Ryan to get done with bowling practice, I concentrate on nothing but the magic of Summersweet Island and laugh to myself like a giddy teenager when I also think about the possibility of that monster cock Melanie mentioned, that would be sure to take all of my troubles away.

Maybe tonight will be my lucky night, and Ryan will give me the sign I’ve been looking for.
