“I didn’t!”
“The ring,” she says, tugging at my finger, “suggests something different.”
“We didn’t. I think I would remember standing at an altar saying, ‘I do’ to a transvestite vicar with bombshell hair and bigger boobs than me, you, andLevi’s new girlfriend combined.”
That last one stings.
But I need it for my argument.
“I didn’t have sex with them. No. I just went back to Brander’s, had some whisky and a bit of TLC, and then we went back out again.”
“To where?”
“Ummm.” I search the ceiling, trying to place where we ended up. Apart from the glass of rum and asking if Brander was a wizard (fuck, I’m never drinking again), nothing pops up.
Tammy reaches for a clean towel and unfolds it to display the embroidered logo.
The Venetian Resort: Hotel and Casinos.
“The Venetian could’ve been it.”
Tammy bats her eyelashes.
That’s when I catch up.
Why the fuck am I here when our hotel was in Flamingo?
“How did you find me?”
“You messaged.”
“I did?”
She exits the bathroom and returns a moment later scrolling through her phone—because she gets more notifications in a minute than I do in a day—and shows me the screen.
I wince.
She could’ve at least been more considerate and turned it to night mode.
The messages slowly appear before my eyes.
Quite a few, actually.
