A Smile As Sweet As Poison (2015) - Plot & Excerpts
Ward came home late, cell phone practically glued to his ear. He waved at Hazel and Dylan from the entryway before trudging up the spiral cast iron stairs and closing his bedroom door. The sound of his muffled ‘yes’s and ‘no’s cut off abruptly. Hazel squirmed in her seat. “Is…everything okay?” Beside her, Dylan shrugged. “Probably. That’s just how he is. Can’t leave work at work.” “He seemed angry.” “How can you tell?” Dylan helped himself to a sip of beer. As soon as the bottle came out, Hazel had known they wouldn’t be acting on her request tonight. She tried not to feel deflated. “That thing he does with his teeth?” Hazel gestured to her mouth in vague illustration. “He sucks his bottom lip like he’s trying to bite through. That’s how I know he’s pissed off.” Dylan watched her gesticulate. “Huh. I never noticed that before.” Because you don’t pay attention to subtle cues that you’re about to be cast out. Because it’s absurd to live that way.
