đȘIt’s Day 3 of the #TurvyTruthOrDare Instagram writing challenge! Yesterday Rabbit helped make things easier for Templeton. Today Big Rabbit faces something worse than the Truth: His opinionated girlfriend. Here we go!
âThis has been fun already!â Big Rabbit grinned as the crew returned to the party room.
âYes, an absolute joy.â Templeton searched his sleeves for lint.
âThis is going to set him back two books,â Lucie mumbled as she watched.
Big Rabbit clapped his hands. âFirst, I have a phone for everyone âand no, theyâre not network phones. Donât try to use them. Theyâre Turvy-spelled and will only work on day six. Carry your phone on that day. Brownâs orders.â
âWhy do we listen to her again?â Emily asked.
âAuthor egotism requires it,â Lucie replied. She curled up on the end of a couch.
Big Rabbit continued. âBrown says Iâm day three. What am I doing? Truth or Dare?â
âTruth,â his girlfriend answered.
âI think Templeton is supposed to decide,â Emily said. Templeton remained focused on his compulsive lint hunt.
âHeâs picking Truth,â Rabbitâs girlfriend repeated.
âTruth it is!â Big Rabbit cheerfully picked a card and read it aloud. âAdmit my Achillesâ heel.â The massive man looked up. âI donât think I have one.â
Sebastian snorted.
âIs there a problem, cockroach?â Big Rabbitâs demeaner switched to menacing in a flash.
âArenât all Rabbits mommaâs boys? Sounds like an Achillesâ heel to me.â Sebastian dug two green olives out of a jar, plopping them into a martini glass. He poured in chilled vodka from the shaker and added a dollop of the brine juice. He made eye contact with Lucie. âYou still like it dirty, right?â
âPerfect, a martini!â Tara zipped past Sebastian, snagging the cocktail. âI think Lucieâs more interested in the wine,â she said over her shoulder.
âAll Rabbits respect their mothers.â Big Rabbitâs face had reddened. âMine is a saint.â
âThe saint of always needing something,â Big Rabbitâs girlfriend scoffed.
âThereâs nothing wrong with expecting help from your children!â Big Rabbit forgot Sebastian. âBesides, women are special. They need to be taken care of.â
âOh, we do, huh?â The woman lowered her head and looked up at Big Rabbit from under her brow, her eyes sliding into a solid black.
Sebastian popped an olive into his mouth and watched the action unfold. He was enjoying this game.
Tune in tomorrow to find out if Tara can narrow it down to the truth… (That post is now up! Enjoy reading it here.)
