SHE WOULDN’T BE standing there, practically naked, in front of half of Port
Serenity if it hadn’t been for that damn tail.
But Carly Walters’s worst nightmare was indeed happening. Standing
center stage in the Serpent Queen pub, under the bright, blinding spotlight,
she stared out into the shocked, horrified, slightly amused expressions of
people she’d known her entire life.
Wearing only her Little Miss Sunshine days of the week underwear and a
shiny gold sports bra.
Her Sealena costume had been ripped from her body when the serpentlike tail had snagged on a raised wooden floorboard as she’d proudly
walked across the stage when her contestant number was announced. Lucky
number thirteen, her ass.
How she’d even allowed herself to be talked into participating in this
silly yearly tradition, she’d never know. Tequila shots had definitely been
involved. And a bet—at least she had fifty dollars coming to her. Small
consolation for the mortification she was currently enduring.
The town’s annual Sealena costume contest was held every year at the
end of June in a closed event at the local pub named in the Serpent Queen’s
honor, open to locals only. A catered, open-bar kickoff party to the official
start of tourist season—a way to pre-thank the community for the hard work
they were about to endure for the next two months when the small Alaskan
coastal town saw a huge influx of tourists. The town’s generations-old
claim on the mythical sea creature made it a hot-spot destination for those
in search of the elusive, the unknown. Families flocked to town hoping to
spot Sealena for themselves and the local businesses had thrived in
providing that opportunity.
Thank goodness this event was closed to the broader public, otherwise
Port Serenity would be newsworthy for a different type of sighting.
Onstage, her fellow competitors sent her sympathetic looks as Carly
struggled to tug the trapped fabric toward her. “Come on,” she muttered.
“Spotlight off, please,” Dex Wakefield called out to the stage technician
from his position behind the bar.
Immediately, the light went out, providing more privacy, and Carly sent
her cousin’s fiancé a grateful look as she continued to try to pull the tail
free. From far back in the crowd, she could see her friend Rachel approach
the stage. If she could actually call Rachel a friend. She was pretty sure
Rachel had been the one to suggest Carly participate in the event. At thirtyfour years old, she really had to stop giving in to peer pressure.
