SUNNY
THERE’S a fine line between genius and insanity and, today, I’m diving so far
into the deep end I’ll probably emerge with a tinfoil hat and a love for
pineapples on pizza.
The coming madness isn’t all that’s driving me. It’s the potential for
disaster that kicks my heart into overdrive. I don’t want tonight to fail—but it
could, and that in-between of risk and recklessness gives me a buzz.
I’m slipping back into the Sunny I was in high school. I’m talking bad
decision-making, potentially traumatizing, horrible ideas Sunny.
Groundlessly confident.
Painfully immature.
Nothing like the Sunny who’s struggling to scale her interior design
business, bogged down by picky clients, and smothered by self-doubt at
every turn.
Tonight, I’m free. And I’m also dangerously close to having a heart
attack, but it’s the best kind of panic. The kind that makes you feel alive.
That gets all the way into your fingers and toes. That makes you invincible.
My eyes track the scantily clad performers waiting backstage. They’re
ready. And Kenya… Kenya’s somewhere in the room, probably regretting
having ever met me.
A glance at my watch sends a thrill down my spine. I’m buzzing with
anticipation and it’s making me sweat. I use the feather boa to dot at my
neck.
“Make sure the light stays on Kenya at all times,” I tell the technician
who can’t seem to locate my eyes. Or maybe he dropped his keys in my
sparkly bra. It would explain why he’s looking at my chest as if it’ll unlock a
secret cave of treasures.
I clear my throat pointedly.
His head bounces up. “Got it.”
I give him a little pat on the back for encouragement. “Don’t mess up.”
The smile that stretches over his face is practiced. I can almost feel the
sleaze oozing from his skin. “Hey, after all this, would you like to grab a
drink?”
“Let’s see how you do tonight, and then we can talk about it.” I flip my
hair, watching as his grin widens. Normally, I wouldn’t encourage him, but I
need everything to go perfectly. Kenya’s going to tear my head off if it
doesn’t.
As he hurries to take up his position, my eyes drop to my watch.
Six minutes to go.
Time to find the star of tonight’s show.
“I can’t believe I let you talk me into this.” Kenya Jones, my best friend
and co-conspirator, is currently dry heaving into the human-sized present that
she’ll be jumping out of in approximately—I check my watch again, five
minutes.
I rub my hands against the itchy feather boa. Hot pink. Just like the sexy
police uniform baring my midriff and flouncing in a short, flared skirt.
“You’ll do great.” I adjust her headpiece, a giant feathered monstrosity
that we’ll have to jam into the box to get it to fit.
