Chapter Two
“If you found one, would it be some thin-lipped, heel-clicking nihilist into S&M? Would it be some spite dripping minion with an arsenal of AR-15s and a closet full of dancing boots? Would it be some tattooed skinhead a dozen points shy of a GED?”
“Please? Please? Please!”
“Or some sullen, once eager-to-please, dimwit who just steptoes through life like every other dim-sum set-upon slob? Or some strudel baking sweet grandmama who knits clickingly through every endless Morning Joe?”
The women rolled their eyes and, as soon as it was opportune, nudged themselves with the girl out of the kitchen and out of the house leaving the men and the breakfast remains to deal with each other.
