His Plaything
I sat at the edge of the bed, twirling the gun loosely in my hand, then caught my reflection in the mirror.
And that's when the idea slithered in.
A disguise.
I plastered on a nervous smile, letting my lips twitch upward unnaturally. I pitched my voice higher, softer, and practised aloud:
"Gosh, she can never hold her liquor."
"Girllll, men problems—you know how it is."
Then I added the laugh. That ridiculous, gay-ass laugh in a high sing-song tone.
It made me cringe. It always did. But it would work.
