Charlie wasn't in a good mood. She wasn't in a good mood at all. After her own fiance got all mean and wouldn't screw her, she'd poured herself into a really hot dress. She'd even managed to scare up a cigarette. She was sitting on the steps of her house in the Hamlet, smoking and staring at the sky, sighing dramatically from time to time.

It wasn't all that unusual for Bobby and Charlie to visit each other now and again, and what with the island seemin' to be up to its usual nonsense again he thought he'd stop by and see how she was.

Now that he was there, though, he wasn't sure he should have. "Charlie?" he said warily, stoppin' at the bottom of the steps.

Charlie's pout brightened into a broad grin and she leaned across her knees, the dress showing her tits off to their best possible advantage.

"Well hey there, old man. How's it hangin'?"

Bobby mighta been a geezer long out of the datin' game, but he could still recognize when a woman was showin' him her cleavage. This particular woman just also happened to be practically like a goddamn daughter to him. His eyebrows shot up beneath his trucker's cap. "You feelin' all right?"

[1000_cranes]

"Feelin' fine, sugar," said Charlie, with a grin and a lift of one eyebrow. "Feelin' better than I have in a long time. Now, if only I could get someone to show a girl a good time."

His brow furrowed, in contrast to his previous expression, and he fixed Charlie with a stern look. "By good time, I hope you don't mean somethin' that'll get you in trouble with that fiance of yours," he told her pointedly.

Charlie yawned, looking bored.

"From what he was like this morning, I don't think that fiance of mine gives a shit about what I do. So I might as well have a little fun."

"I think it's more like he knows you ain't in your right mind, girl," Bobby said gruffly. "What the hell's gotten into you?"

[1000_cranes]

"Some sense, at long fuckin' last."

She tilted her chin, glaring at him, pushing her hair back from her forehead.

"You got any idea how borin' my life is?"

[steel_singer]

What the hell? Bobby hoped this was some kinda goddamn island thing, somethin' that wouldn't last. "Seemed like you were pretty damn happy with it up 'till today," he said flatly.

"Yeah, well, maybe I finally got some sense knocked into me," snapped Charlie. "What I need is a hobby and a man who'll actually fuck me when I ask him to."
