The Stand Frannie Novels & Stories

She wouldn’t risk her heart, not again. Francine threw the cane she was using across the room. Mason had managed to keep from crying out or reacting to her in any way and he thought he’d won, that she was giving up, that he might actually have found a way to get her to stop.

Followed by a female body encased in dirty coveralls. “Well, sir. I ain’t your buddy, at least not yet. And we’re closed today. Pipes busted and half the course is flooded.” We stood there looking at each other for a few moments. I understood the social conventions, and I knew it was my turn to speak. I also knew how to be witty and charming. But all those powers seemed to have escaped my brain. You see, she just stood there in dirty coveralls, her wild red hair reigned in by a dirty Titleist visor, her piercing green eyes, face streaked with grease and dirt… I wasn’t prepared for how she affected me. I felt an immediate stirring in my loins. I had never met anyone so striking before.

Seeing a girl in skimpy clothes sitting next to him, he touched her shoulder and gently pushed her: "Baby, hurry over there to entertain them."

But the joyous atmosphere was abruptly interrupted by the presence of an unexpected figure standing in our midst – Drenver. "Drenver," I said cautiously, my voice tinged with surprise and apprehension. Trence's grip on my hand tightened, a silent reassurance of his support. "Hello, Friah, Trence," Drenver replied, his expression unreadable as he glanced between us. "I hope you're both doing well."
