She stopped. Everyone stopped.
“Oh, I forgot you were here. This is my brother, Tommy, and his
very pregnant wife, Penny.”
“Thanks for that kind introduction,” Penny said thanklessly.
Rider winked. “I thought you’d like that.”
The woman cleared her throat.
“What’s your name?” Tommy asked.
She looked to Rider waiting for an introduction.
“Do you need something?” he asked
She looked at him incredulously.
He pulled a circle of bills from his pocket. He licked his thumb and
flipped a couple off the stack for her.
“What do you think I am? Some kind of hooker you can pay off in the
morning and send on her way?”
“It’s money for a cab.”
“I live in this building.
He scratched his head.
“You have really nice hair,” Rider offered.
She threw the bills at him and stormed off, slamming the door behind
her.
They all laughed.
