Whistlin' Dixie

That solved his second question before he asked it. “Uhhh… I don’t think I had any,” he murmured in response, sitting up and rubbing the heel of his palm into his eye. “Not much of a drinker. Only barely alive, really, but I guess the thought counts. When do you close?”

“You don’t think you had any? You don’t remember?” Dixie asked, her brow furrowing both in concern and mild suspicion. Barely alive? What the heck did he mean by that? She checked her watch. “You got about a half hour, hon. Maybe you should ask the bartender for a cup of coffee?”

You’re critiquing my sass? Really? 

I’m good with the sass, it comes naturally to me. And I’m always gonna be your big sister, even when we’re both dead and gone, so you might as well get used to it. And clean your room. 

“Yo, hey!” Isaiah croaked at the offending person, still half-asleep. “Damn dude, you don’t have to throw shit at me! Ever heard of shaking a person awake? Shit…”

“You want a gentle wake up? Fall asleep on your mom’s couch,” Dixie replied, “Bars closing soon, wanted to make sure you were still alive. How much did you drink, anyway?”

If we lived further north? Absolutely. Here, though... Depends. How do you feel about heatstroke?

Dan sauntered quietly around the tea shop, eyes running over the surprisingly plentiful options up against the wall with names that made him wonder what in the world they tasted like. Not that he wanted some pretentious tea option It was a hot day and he stopped him hoping to get something to cool down. Surely it didn’t need to be this complicated. “So, can I buy regular iced tea here or am I in the wrong place for that sort of thing?”

“This is Georgia, darlin’. You can get sweet tea just about anywhere,” Dixie confirmed with a smile. “Most places will make you un-sweet tea as well, but you get funny looks when you ask for it. If you’re feeling adventurous, though, they’ve got a fantastic peach iced tea here.” 

Glad to hear it. And yes, it’s fantastic. I highly recommend it

Aww, I’m sorry babe. You feelin’ better? 

Is there a chance that you have any left? I missed the Sandlot, but homemade caramel corn does sound delicious.

I always make enough to share.

You… as a rockstar? You?

Yes, me. Not like a....Amy Winehouse rockstar, more like a Taylor Swift rock star.
