A relieved sigh whooshed out of me at the fact she’d already had plans.

Mr.Right.Now:Don’t cats eat birds?

MsBlackCat:Byyyyyeeeee.

Chuckling, I checked my dashboard and could see Veda had saved the private video. I grinned.

Mr.Right.Now:If rewatching that message doesn’t do it for you, I’m happy to make you another.

MsBlackCat:I usually use them to fall asleep, so I’ll let you know.

Mr.Right.Now:Ouch. You wound me. You know, you probably shouldn’t talk with weird men on the internet.

MsBlackCat:Then stop messaging me, weirdo.

With a laugh, I tossed my phone beside me and sighed. I had a few clients on the books but nothing planned for after those tattoo appointments. I’d be open to a few drinks after the Bluebirds’ meeting. I tapped a finger on my thigh before scooping up my phone and firing a text off to my sisters.

Let’s cause some trouble tonight.

Sylvie

Can you feel my heavy sigh via text?

MJ

Sorry, we’ve got book club.

Oh yeah? What book are you discussing?

Sylvie

Bonnets of the Bay.

MJ

Dark Cannon.

Ha! I knew you didn’t actually discuss books. Come to the Grudge after. We’ll have a King sibling soiree. Syl, you can even invite the brute and his blood relations.

Sylvie

You mean my HUSBAND and his SIBLINGS?

Yeah, you can bring them too, I guess.

MJ

I’m in.

Sylvie

I’ll see what I can do.

Maybe even invite that new girl out ... to be nice.

Sylvie

You mean the poor woman you’ve been salivating over?
