Jody’s Jeep disappears from the driveway. “Clear.” Claire says.
“Kickass.” Alex pulls out a joint big around as her thumb. “Back porch?”
“Yeah.”
Screendoor slams. Alex fires it, pulls a lungful. Squeaks, “Here.”
Claire pinches the end. Draws a breath. Eyes close, chest burns, lips tingle.
“Good, right?” Alex squints, smug. “Nick’s sister goes to Colorado. Brought back two O for Christmas break.”
“Sweet.”
They pass it. Claire’s mind drifts. Happy here. Well, not happy, exactly. But Alex is cool and Jody’s…
“Hey. You girls out - ?” Warm air pours from the back door. “Seriously?”
Shit. Nick’s sister’s Colorado dank? Stinks.
“Ha-ha, uh. Hi, Jody!” Alex grins.
She’s full on mom-voice. “You got any idea how much crap this could cause me?”
“God, Jody, I’m sorry,” Claire starts. “We didn’t think - ”
“Oh I can see you didn’t think.” Sticks out her hand.
“Sorry.” Alex goes to snuff the roach.
Jody cocks an eyebrow. “I didn’t say put it out.”
Claire’s eyes widen and Alex’s jaw drops.
Jody hits it, slow and deep. Throws back her head on the exhale. “Ah, what the hell. It’s Christmas.” She narrows her eyes. “But if you tell Donna Hanscum I’ll kill you both.”
