“Welcome to Carl and Earl’s what do you want today?” I say it all in one breath.
Authelia arches one eyebrow and lowers her sunglasses. “Hello.” Just that one word drips with more venom than a nest of cottonmouths. “We’d like your double-decker cheeseburgers, jumbo curly fries, strawberry lemonade-”
“I don’t like strawberry lemonade,” says the token friend, in a mousy voice.
“But Millie,” Authelia simpers, “you know it’s my favorite.”
