Chapter 25: Bourbon
I took my phone out of my apron and opened the camera app.
The screen thought about it.
Then it showed me a gray box.
No device found.
I tried to log in again.
Wrong password.
I had changed nothing.
Mariel watched me over the rim of her glass.
"Libba set up your old phone for you," she said. "The week of the wedding. Do you remember what she picked for your code?"
I did.
My wedding date.
I'd never changed that either.
"She opened the old one in about four seconds," Mariel said. "Your whole little life was on it. Your email. Your passwords. Your camera."
She finished the Low Tide.
She laid a hundred-dollar bill on the bar, the same as last time.
"Keep the change. You'll need it."
She put on her sunglasses.
"Think about my offer, sweetheart. You've got until the gala."
"What gala?"
She smiled at me.
"Mine. The one Lawton used to throw for me every October. Libba moved it." She stood up and buttoned her coat. "Last Saturday in January. The Kershaw House ballroom. My welcome home."
