Thane
I clamp my hands down on the walkway railing, gazing down at the odd
shapes of the four copper stills on the oor below me. Why do whisky stills
look like a bizarre version of a man’s bollocks? There’s something strangely
erotic about the way the stills begin as fat ovals and stretch up into an
almost dokey-like shape. Aye, now I’m thinking about my cock. The stills also
resemble a woman’s breasts. I’m not aroused, though, despite the imagery.
Why? Because I’m too bloody busy contemplating the fate of my wee
distillery.
This is my company. I created it, I own it, and I am the man in charge. I’d
always wanted to have my own business, and I love single-malt Scotch. So
why not become a master distiller? But we need more stills if we’re going to
become competitive in the Highland whisky market.
A bonnie brown-haired lass walks up beside me, smiling down at the
large stills. I smile at Fiona Sterling, but she’s focused on the main oor
below us. I sometimes forget that she’s no longer Fiona MacTaggart, since
she married Domhnall Sterling only a few months ago.
Fiona tips her head side to side as if she’s studying the copper
contraptions below us. “Have ye ever noticed that whisky stills look an awful
lot like tits?”
“It would be sexist for me to admit that even if it’s true.”
“You are always cagey, Thane. Maybe that’s why you’ve never had a longterm relationship.”
“Did ye come up here to talk about my love life? Or are you actually doing
your job?”
She shakes her head, giving me a long-suffering look. “Dinnae get
grumpy with me.”
“I have never been grumpy.” But aye, I might be behaving in a less-thanserene manner right now. Fiona bloody well knows why. “You and the other
lasses in our circle want to change me. I’m not interested in dating, for now.
Saving my edgling business is all I have time for.”
Fiona smirks. “Are you regretting making me distillery manager? You
probably thought I’d go easy on you because we dated briey years ago and
shagged a few times. But you put me in charge of the business. That means
you have only yourself to blame if you’re unhappy.”
“Aye, I know that. You’re doing an excellent job.”
“Thank you.” She sidles closer and hooks an arm around my bicep. “Now,
tell me what’s really fashing you today.”
I take a deep breath and release it slowly, exhaling out all the tension in
my body and mind. “Your mother and my mother have conspired to harass
me about my single-man status.”
“They want to help you, that’s all.”
“And I appreciate the thought. But I dinnae need help.”
My thoughts rewind to several months ago and the thing Domhnall
Sterling had told me at the engagement ceilidh for him and Fiona. “You’ll be
next, Thane Buchanan, mark my words.”
“Next for what?” I had asked.
