“HURRY UP, LADIES,” Anna Mae said, shooing us toward the door of our
stateroom. “The all-you-can-eat seafood buffet is open in the main dining
room, and then there’s a Dolly Parton look-alike contest with singin’ and
everything.” She paused and grabbed an extra room keycard off the entry
table and tucked it into her bra.
“You know,” Coralee said, raising a brow into her floofy, bleach-blonde
bangs, “we all have keycards. You now officially have three—one in your
bra, one in your purse, and one in your shoe. Are you that worried about
getting locked out?”
A scowl crossed Anna Mae’s pixie face. “You can never be too careful.
What if y’all lose yours? And my purse gets stolen? I’ll still have two. One
to give you, and one for me.”
I wasn’t about to argue with that logic. If it made her feel better to have
a hard piece of plastic glued to her boob all night, who was I tell her she
was being a worrywart? She’d just gone through an experience that had updumped her life, and if carrying extra keycards gave her some security, then
she could plaster them to her butt cheeks and forehead for all I cared.
Hank, her husband of seventeen years, had just died, but if that’s all that
had happened, she’d have been fine. Better than when he was living, even.
No, the death hadn’t traumatized her. Finding out the disgusting pig had
been ruining the lives of good people by ferreting out weaknesses and
blackmailing them into poverty and nervous breakdowns had been what did
it.
Of course, he’d been blackmailing some pretty powerful bad guys, too,
so even after Anna Mae’d made restitution to all the good folks, she was
still a wealthy woman. Between the leftover blackmail cash and the half-mil
life insurance policy she’d been smart enough to take out on him, she
wouldn’t have to work another day in her life, though that wasn’t her plan.
As a final middle finger to the man who’d tortured her and so many
others for nearly two decades, she’d decided to use part of the money he’d
hoarded so greedily to take all of us on a cruise. It would have killed him all
over again had he been alive to see it, and that made all of us smile a little
wider.
In addition to that, I’d witnessed him getting pulled to the inky
blackness of his scarily-ever-after eternity, and that gave me even more
reason to rejoice. I hadn’t shared that with anybody yet, though. Well,
except my Aunt Addy, and I’d only told her because she’d been nervous as a
cat in a room full of rocking chairs every time a cross wind blew, afraid he
was gonna pop back up as a ghost. That would have been awful, so I ended
up confessing that I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt he was gone for
good just to put her at ease.
