“This is why the lawyer cheated on me with her assistant.”
“Katherine is a poor excuse for a butch who submitted to becoming a
patriarchal cliché. That’s not your fault,” Rosie said between over-dramatic
chest heaves.
Lori frowned and gave her best friend the look. “You know I love how
much you hate her on my behalf, but you also know that we don’t say her
name out loud.”
“Are you worried that if I say it three times, she’ll poof here out of thin
air?”
Lori huffed and prodded the pile of excrement a little more fervently.
The pungent odor that rose up in response to her agitating it got her
thinking that she should bag some up and smear it on the windshield of the
lawyer’s prize Porsche. “No, I don’t. She’s not Lucifer, though she did a
damn good job of impersonating him in those last few weeks. It just helps
me keep emotional distance if I just call her the lawyer. You know that too.
Why are you being so obstreperous?”
“Ooh, stealing that for my word of the week,” Rosie said then rattled the
tripod in her left hand. “Because I came to help you shoot a new video. I
didn’t come here to watch you play with poop. It’s gross.”
Lori didn’t feel the need to point out that Rosie had practically wrestled
the tripod from her hand and insisted on tagging along after they’d had
lunch. She assumed Rosie was working up to something she wanted to talk
about. A favor, maybe. Whatever it was, it must be pretty big for her to
traipse out in the mud, risking her white sandals. “I’m going to have to call
the vet. One of the horses must have a gut infection.”
“Then we should definitely get this video done before it gets dark.
You’ll need some more donations to cover their fees.”
Lori tossed the stick to the ground and sighed heavily. “You’re right.”
“I usually am.”
Lori rolled her eyes and pointed toward the kennels. “I want to do a
video with Max. The fireworks freaked him out, even with the special ear
defenders.”
Rosie started toward the large building. “You don’t have to ask me
twice. I need to get away from this stench before it infiltrates my clothes,
and I have no choice but to burn them.”
Lori shook her head and followed. “Maybe you shouldn’t always come
here in such fancy threads. I can loan you something from my wardrobe.”
Rosie flicked her gaze over Lori’s outfit of tank top, jeans, and work
boots and looked vaguely mortified. “You do somehow manage to look
adorable in your thrift-store ensemble, but I need all the help I can get.”
Lori hooked her arm through Rosie’s and tugged her close as they
walked. Rosie didn’t often let her dirt-poor upbringing vulnerabilities show,
but Lori’s heart ached for her when she did. “I call BS. You’d look amazing
in a trash bag tied at the waist with twine.”
“I hear that’s the latest fashion in Milan.” She winked and nudged her
shoulder to Lori’s.
