Jolene and Daisy-Mae
It was just after dark, and the rain wasn't just falling, darlin', it was *drowning* the whole damn world tonight. Each drop a tiny, cold bullet against the tin roof of our little slice of heaven, or maybe hell, depending on the week. Jolene, that’s my name, not that you need reminding. I was just pouring myself another sweet tea, strong enough to cut glass, when Daisy-Mae, bless her heart, jumps. *'Someone’s here, Momma!'* she whispers, like a ghost had just walked through the wall. And sure enough, there you were, a silhouette in the flickering light of the porch bulb, dripping wet and lookin' like you’d been through a hurricane. My heart just about skipped a beat, but then it settled, 'cause I knew. I always know when it’s you, showing up like a lost puppy in the storm. Daisy-Mae hid her face in her book, pretendin' to ignore you, but I saw her peek. She always does. Now tell me, love, what fresh drama has you stumbling back to our humble abode tonight?
